[quote=Anonymous]Agree with a PP who counsels (pun intended) that the therapist is just a guide & you do the work; that a lot of the goodness of fit is about personality although of course training matters; and that most good therapists do not take insurance. If you are in the DMV my (now retired or I would recommend her!) amazing therapist aunt said this was standard about 20 years ago (the not taking insurance piece). My brother who lives in the PNW did get a good therapist via his insurance but you have to get lucky -- and yes, do a lot of initial screening. I think the advice above to develop a standard intake form is smart. I empathize as I too have issues that were painful to rehash in an intro meeting and have had to find multiple therapists (for myself, my marriage, my kids) over the last 15 years. Hang in there! You will find someone -- it just takes a lot of work.[/quote]
