Research Notes on How Can I Choose a Good Therapist


Knowing how to choose a good therapist can be helpful if you or a loved one is concerned about mental health. When you are looking for a good therapist, it is important to consult with several therapists before settling on one.1 This gives you the opportunity to eliminate therapists that you do not feel would be a good match.1 Many therapists offer a free consultation.

Fast Facts:

  • Ask your primary physician for a recommendation of a good therapist.2
  • You should look for therapists that specialize in counseling people with similar situations as yours.2
  • A good place to start when looking for a good therapist is a referral service.2
