I have looked at information provided on several therapists I'm considering calling for an appointment.
Two of them list only these four things under Categories, Bisexual Clients, Gay Clients, Lesbian Clients, Transsexual Clients. They list other things under what they treat, but I don't understand what their category list means. If under Specialties only Trauma & PTSD, Child or Adolescent, Relationship Issues are listed does that mean they have more experience in those things or that is what they prefer to handle? Lastly one lists the use of Jungian-based therapy and I was wondering if anyone had every gone to someone who did this type of therapy and what you thought? |

There are also different styles of therapy. Jungian is one of them. Other types would be "CBT"; "Family systems"; "Attachment-therapy"; "EMDR", and the list goes on. Some therapists incorporate several different styles and might call themselves "eclectic." You might want to explore the psych-central website and look at the many articles that describe different therapy styles and types. You might read about one that just feels right to you, then you can better understand therapist's descriptions of what they do. To be sure, there is no one perfect way to do it. No one perfect therapy type. It's very individual as to what will work best for a particular person.

The categories you list could be either what the therapist specializes in or prefers. Presumably they work more often with what they prefer so become specialists? Some therapists list everything under the sun, trying to get any/all interested in therapy and others list fewer so they get more of the clients they prefer.
This site is good at explaining the different types of therapy: Jungian Psychotherapy
