This is really awful I am so sorry. I don’t think there is anything wrong with interviewing therapists. I don’t know if this helps but at one point I had to stop doing therapy with a t I had been close to since I was 19. Decades of a relationship. He is dear to me and still around just can’t do phone therapy per his license. I have since had two wonderful t’s that showed me there was life after t1. He is still dear to me and no one can replace him but others have things to offer you to. I really hope this helps

Ps I’ve moveded several states over the years and licensing is tricky
