I think one is free to choose a therapist that has experience or skills or training in the sorts of things one wants a therapist to know about. I am not so certain that I, as a client, get to demand a therapist get training in areas I think they need to know about. I would see it more as I am free to choose a therapist who does rather than demand the therapist go get it. I am a lesbian but that has very little to do with why I pay a therapist. As long as the therapist was not all bent out about homosexuality, then that part did not really come into play with my choices of therapists. I know of other people who deliberately seek other lesbians or gay men as therapists because they have that as a requirement for the therapist they hire. I think one should have choices in therapists, but as for demanding a therapist go get training in some area just to deal with me -that is to me, something that is unlikely to happen. I don't see a therapist complying with such a thing and I don't really see that they should.
