Before scheduling a meeting, take the time to call the psychologist.
This is the time to talk to him or her about your situation and ask:
- Whether he or she is qualified to deal with the type of problem you are experiencing
- What experience he or she has with cases like yours
- How he or she works
You can also ask practical questions, such as:
- Where is his or her office located?
- How easy is it to get there?
- What is his or her availability?
- Can the psychologist meet you at a convenient time of the week?
- What are his or her fees?
For psychotherapy to run smoothly and be successful, a bond of trust needs to be established between you and your psychotherapist. Don't hesitate to ask questions! If, after a few meetings, you still don't feel confident, you have the right to continue with another professional.
