Choosing a psychologist becomes simpler with criteria: (1) primary concern, (2) specialty/experience, (3) approach and fit, (4) logistics and consistency.
The first session is an assessment and mutual understanding. You don't need everything figured out — the psychologist guides the conversation.
At the end, the psychologist suggests a plan: frequency, approach and goals. You should leave with clear next steps.
