How to Interview a Therapist (So You Actually Find the Right One)
Choosing a therapist doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Many people hesitate to start therapy not because they don’t need it — but because they’ve felt unsure during consultations, pressured to commit, or walked away still confused about fit. If you’ve ever thought, “Am I asking the right questions?” or “What if they aren’t the right one?” this guide was written for you.
This free guide walks you step-by-step through how to prepare for therapist consultations, what questions actually matter, and how to trust your instincts — plus a handy one-page Quick Sheet to take with you to each session.
Many people never ask these questions or compare options, then wonder later if they chose the right path. This guide helps you avoid that — not by guessing, but by making your choices intentional.
By the end, you’ll clearly see the difference between a therapist who simply meets requirements and one who truly fits you.
