Becca07 - I never thought of interviewing therapists to find the right one. I was kind of a mess when I started and just went to the one I was referred to by employee assistance services therapist. I've been with her ever since - I think 3 years? Interviewing does sound like a good idea though. And yes, they will charge you for the consultation. You could probably ask in advance though before you see them about their personal theory or school of thought as far as therapy and psychology goes. Most of them have something informative they could give you in writing. I don't see why they wouldn't do that before making a consultation appointment.
