How to Choose a Good Therapist in Albany
A good therapist in Albany, as well as across the country, has proper training, a valid license or is practicing under active supervision, and belongs to a professional community that supports their ethical practice and ongoing growth. Beyond these essentials, everything a client can evaluate is subjective and comes down to the personal fit between them and the therapist.
In the last six years of speaking with thousands of inquiries, the people who start and stay in therapy are the ones who feel a connection with their therapist and believe that this person can help them move closer to their therapeutic goals. And based on 300+ hours of professional supervision, we know that the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of effective therapy.
30% of inquirers say “feeling comfortable with the therapist” is their top priority, followed by “affordability” and “issues treated”.
To help narrow down your search by practical criteria you can get in touch with our Care Coordinator or try Therapist Matching Quiz. And yet always trust your gut. If you’re drawn to a therapist(s) who didn’t appear in your Quiz results, schedule a free call or a full session with them anyway.
The quiz has 28 multiple-choice questions and takes only 7 minutes to complete.
