i had to wait 3 weeks i think once i called for an appt. So yeah, like sunrise said, start now. And honestly, ask T's if you can meet them briefly, some will, some wont. without a fee i mean. Either way, meeting a T for the first time isn't exactly starting therapy. It took a couple of appts before i felt like we were doing anything more than "hi." It's all very formal in the beginning.

So, get online and check out what T's are in your area... find out what you can. Ask about orientation, billing, policies, age/gender if it matters to you... think of a list of questions to ask a potential T. A month will go before you know it.
