When choosing a therapist, it is essential that you pick a therapist that is compatible with you and that is going to assist you on the road to healing.  It has been my experience that many clients overlook the significance of this step.  The fact is that many clients think that a given therapist is as good as the rest.  This is not the case.

Aside from the educational background, professional experience, and licensing, it is necessary to consider what the therapist’s values are.  For example, if a woman wants therapy to find help with the emotional struggles from having an abortion, it would be beneficial if she found a therapist that shares her point of view on this issue.
