Questions to Ask a Therapist in San Ramon, CA

You have done your research and completed your search for a therapist you are interested in working with. Or perhaps you have selected several therapists and now you are ready to select the right one for you. I recommend scheduling a brief phone consultation(s) at a time when you can speak privately.

At this point, you made the hard decision to start counseling and you are anxious to get started. I get it.

In my experience, sometimes people use the consultation as a time to share details about their issue and very little time asking about me, their therapist, any questions. I recommend sharing a high-level synopsis of the issue you are wanting help with and focusing more of the phone call on how can the therapist help you.

Here are some suggestions on what to ask during the phone call:

Understand Their Approach

• What therapeutic approaches do you use to address infertility, stress, and anxiety?

• How do you tailor your approach to each client?

Analyze Their Experience and Expertise

• What is your experience in treating clients with infertility issues and stress/anxiety?

• Do you have any certifications or specialized training?

Determine Their Availability and Accessibility

• What is your availability for appointments?

• Are you open to conducting sessions online?

Understand Their Communication Style

• What is your communication style with clients outside of sessions, especially during critical periods of stress or anxiety?

Ask about Their Progress Evaluation

• How do you track and evaluate progress throughout the therapeutic journey?

• How do you know when we are finished?
