2. Cost is a huge factor.
3. No CBT. I dislike it except when I use its ideas as a self-help strategy.

I know there are dozens of different kinds of therapy, but I don't know how to choose. I'd like to better cope with (amongst other things) trauma and PMS.
Maybe a more eclectic therapist who uses many different types of therapy....like mind/body, etc. Maybe the best way to choose is instead of focusing on your limitations...maybe you should make a list of what you do want in a therpist.... what you want therapy to look like... so when you interview new therapist you could ask lots of questions to see if its a good fit when you call...
Thanks for this!
