Questions to Ask a Therapist

 

  Once you find a therapist that you are interested in, you might want to come prepared with some questions about how your treatment will work. Which questions you will want to ask depend on who you are, what your needs are, and what kind of therapist you are interested in.

About Them

  • What are your areas of expertise or interest?
  • How often do you treat people with my diagnosis/problems?
  • What kind of training do you have?

About Your Needs

  • What sort of treatment do you use to help people with my diagnosis/problems?
  • What sort of approach will we use?
  • What will be my role in treatment?
  • What would be the role of my family in treatment?

About Finances

  • What are your fees?
  • What kind of insurance do you accept?
  • How often will we meet and about how long might I be in therapy?
  • How does payment work here (e.g., do you pay first and then get reimbursed by the insurance company or do they bill your insurance company directly?)
