[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm a therapist and here's what I recommend to people looking for a new therapist:

Step 1:
Do you know anyone who has a therapist they like? If so ask them to get recs from their therapist for you.

OR
Go to Psychology Today, read through profiles and find a couple of people whose style you like.

Step 2:
Interview at least three people. They should offer a free intro call (20 min-ish). Given your bad experiences, you might even want to pay for a full session with a couple different people. Tell them what didn't work in the past and ask them how they would prevent/address any issues.

Good luck! I know how hard it is to find a great therapist![/quote]
I am not a therapist, but I am someone who tried therapist pp's advice. 
1. My friends said tgey would ask their therapists for recs (I asked 3 friends) none of them followed through. Their therapy appts are for them and my request is small potatoes.
2 I emailed and followed up with calls on PT to 15! therapists and not one response.

I ended up returning to my last online therapist who wasn't great. This time, though, I am making a stronger effort to come prepared and to stay focused. So far so good. Instead of searching for a unicorn, call the patient coordinators at 3 practices which are near your home or work and which take your insurance. Tell them what you want to work on and let them match you. Good luck!
