Hi, new member here looking for a new psychotherapist after a couple of efforts. My previous therapy experiences have bombed, although I had one good one a long time ago. He really seemed to understand me (and that makes me want to try for more, even despite the s***ty experiences since!!).

I know there are a million different therapies and intellectual approaches to counselling, but I am really curious what makes a therapist hit-or-miss for the members here.

How did you know that your doctor was the right one for you?
