▫️What is your therapy style, psychodynamic, CBT, humanistic, (other), a mix?
▫️Do you view your therapy style as short term, open ended, solution focused, trauma focused?
▫️How much do you charge?
▫️Do you accept my insurance?
▫️What licenses and certifications do you have?
▫️How many clients have you had with similar circumstances to my own?
▫️What are your areas of expertise?
▫️Is your license active and in good standing?
▫️What types of treatments do you use?
▫️How many years have you been seeing clients?
▫️What are your hours? Do you have someone on-call when you are away from the office?
I always search their medical license online to see that it’s active and has no disciplines against it. I also want to know if they have malpractice insurance (some therapists don’t) but that might not be the best question to ask at your first meeting. I also search for online reviews from other clients.
