Tips for Choosing a Psychotherapist:
Qualities of a Good Therapist

Being a good therapist goes beyond being a good listener. Ideally, they will convey warmth, genuineness and respectful interest for you and your concerns. In addition, you can expect them to be empathetic, dynamic and alive, and be able to give you specific feedback, even during the initial interview. A good therapist may also convey mutual trust and not be afraid to confront or challenge you and your beliefs at times.

Above all, a competent therapist should leave you with feeling of comfort and confidence in them as a human being and their therapeutic skills and abilities. Most importantly, you may begin to feel uplifted and hopeful about your future, by the time the interview is over.
