They’re all good questions. I really don’t like that this person didn’t answer any of them! I could see having to think about something and get back to you or not having time to get everything in one session but refusing to answer bodes poorly.

Also most therapists I’ve met have discussed their approach to therapy, how they handle suicidality and the limits of confidentiality right upfront without my even having to ask. Many of them also discuss upfront how they’ll handle it if something comes up that is outside their area of expertise/comfort zone.

It sounds like your screening questions did what they were supposed to and screened out a bad candidate!
