Looking for a new therapist and want to be sure they'll be a good fit for you? Try some of these questions to get a feel if you and the therapist are on the same page
An image with a tan background and five different colored rectangles filled with text. The heading reads "questions to ask a potential therapist, COVID conscious edition, here are some questions to see if a new therapist will be a good fit and respect your need for COVID safety." Next to the text is a blue and green image of a woman sitting in a chair talking to another woman via telehealth. The first yellow box reads "what is your experience working with COVID conscious clients?" the next green box reads "what does COVID safety mean to you?" the next pink box reads "why did you list yourself on the COVID conscious therapist directory?" the next orange box reads "how do you handle it when you and a client disagree on something?" and the last blue box reads "how do you usually work with clients like me?" oliviabelknaptherapy.com
