Top Ten Questions to Ask a Psychotherapist
According to the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists, the following are the top ten questions you will want to ask during your first visit. Use this as a check list of what goals you should achieve during the session. Many of these will probably be covered without your asking; but, if not, don’t be afraid to ask.
What is your academic background and what has your training been to prepare you to practice as a therapist?
What specialized training and/or experience have you had in working with the issue I am dealing with?
What professional associations do you belong to?
What are your fees? How will my insurance claim be handled? (preferably fees and potential insurance coverage should be discussed on the phone prior to making the first appointment)
What type of therapy do you do? (mostly talking, role-playing, visualizing, hypnosis, artwork, “body -work”)
What are your office protocols? ( booking appointments, payment for missed appointments, emergencies, building access after hours, etc.)
I would like a brief explanation as to what I can expect to happen in my sessions.
How long will each session last?
How many sessions will it take to resolve my issue?
How will my confidentiality be assured?
