It can be difficult to know how to choose a therapist who is right for you. You should feel free to ask about the therapist’s academic and clinical training, degrees earned, style of therapy, licensure status, special interests, and years in the field. You should feel comfortable talking with this person. You want to feel that you “click” with the therapist. While my practice is a general one, I have a particular interest in culture, race, and ethnicity and in issues related to health. As such, I often see bi-cultural individuals, couples who have conflict in part due to cultural difference, and people attempting to adapt to a culture not their own. You may also want to know whether a potential therapist has experience with issues of particular concern to you. For example, you may ask if the therapist has worked with gay couples, with African American individuals, with biracial adolescents, with sexual dysfunction, with particular parenting issues, or with immigrants from a particular area.
