However, it would be good to have other reassurances about your choice. I believe that a therapist should either be licensed by the state or supervised by someone who is licensed. This does not guarantee excellence, but it counts for a basic level of competence. Additionally, your therapist should have some training in the field. I prefer someone who has at least a master's degree.
Experience is helpful as well.
Find out what kind of training and experience a prospective therapist has. Also, inquire about his or her theoretical approach to therapy, and see if the explanation makes sense to you. All rights reserved. All rights reserved.
