Yes - my primary criteria when choosing a therapist is gauging whether they are relationship-oriented and whether I feel like they and I would be able to form some sort of connection on a deeper level than just therapist/client.

While having a need to bond is not the reason why I am in therapy, I need to have a connection and feel personally bonded to my therapist in order to work with them effectively on the issues that I am in therapy for.
