Inside the Little Plastic Castle

This is probably going to sound very contrary, but I feel like when I'm feeling out a new therapist less is more? They might be able to tick all the boxes, but really actually sitting there with them for at least a couple of sessions is going to give me a better idea whether it's a good fit than anything else. I suppose my main thing would be to ask if they offer a free intro consult and/or if they can agree that you can stay or go after X number of sessions. There's nothing more awkward than having to break up with a therapist, so sometimes having that known ahead of time can be handy. Hope you find someone who works for you and with you!
