I made a list of what I wanted in a T. Here's my list:

Someone on my insurance
Someone with evening appointments
Someone with an email address/web site
Someone who worked with anxiety/panic/ocd
Someone who worked with trauma
Someone willing to do some CBT
Someone willing to help me identify emotions
Someone 10-20 mins away from my house

Then I looked up every single provider on the Cigna web site. I googled all of them and looked for web sites. I bookmarked every one that looked promising. Then I started narrowing them down. Then I sat on it for a while. Then I emailed T, telling him what I was looking for & asking him if he thought he could help me. He wrote back telling me that he was experienced in everything I was seeking. I made my first appointment with him, saw him & then termed with my prior T. (Granted, ex-T and I were terminating anyway, but I felt like current T would be a good fit. And he's been great.)
