I searched the licensing site to see if my pdoc had any violations. I have not googled him and I am not sure I want to…it might feel strange.

Wow.... how did you do that... Google what?

Of course, it doesn't always tell the whole story as I found out the hard way. My pdoc has an arrest record (actually more than once) and that's not on the the website nor is the fact that he's appeared before the state board for sexual misconduct which he managed to get away with because I wouldn't testify against him (that will always be part of his file but not open to the public). When I found out he had lied to me about his marital status (said he was divorced) I did a little deeper digging and that's when I found out he has multiple arrests. I looked up a therapist here in the city I live in and she had been in trouble with the state board (she is an LMFT) for violating confidentiality - needless to say I never made an appointment with her - so it does help at times.
