Therapy is a personal matter and one must feel comfortable with whom they choose to work with. Many therapists specialize in particular areas and others have decades of experience. Ultimately, studies show that the relationship between the therapist and client is the single most important factor in a successful therapuetic process. If you feel that you can open up to your therapist, believe he or she understands you and can be empathetic to your challenges, and in addition, has the appropriate training and education to help you deal with your particular issues, you're probably on the right track.
