As you consider a therapist, search for someone who seems to value the things you value, someone who will want to support your life goals; listen to your own sense of who can get you started on the road to healing, recovery, or flourishing; focus on your need to understand what you really want and how to start getting more out of your life. Psychotherapy is like physical therapy; something is injured, not fully developed, or needing to be used differently; the session stretches and strengthens; homework is essential to making progress; if you come consistently, do the homework, you get better.
