* Is their conversation style in line with your needs? I do better with someone who goes back and forth with me, rather than hm-mms along with whatever I say.
* Do they have a religious background/inclination that is objectionable to you? Are they able to set it aside in order to work with you?
* Do they work with other people who are (name-that-tune)? In my case, autistic is a significant thing, as is CPTSD.
* Do they have a trauma-informed practice?

I had a medical pracitioner (I think it was integrative medicine) who said it felt like I was putting them through a job interview, and objected to it. I didn't hire them to be part of my care team.
