I saw many through my parent's insurance at Kaiser and all of the therapists there were terrible. Once I became an adult and sought out my own therapy, I decided to go with the one my roommate/best friend recommended...who I've been seeing for the last three years. The only research I ever did to find T2 was when I went on Psychology Today and tried to find ones that were specifically Jungian and psychodynamic, as opposed to the CBT I've been so used to working with. I clicked with T2 immediately, too. They all look great on paper, but like dating, you have to find someone that works with you and your personality. It's all a crap shoot. Research can hopefully make the search easier, but overall, I'm sure it's a struggle and most probably go through several before they find the right match.
