Seeking therapy can be an intimidating process, especially if you have never been to a counselor before.  With the amount of counselors in the area, and the different topics they specialize in, choosing one that is best for you can feel overwhelming.  Before choosing a therapist, it is helpful to have a list of questions to ask prior to making your decision.  When selecting a counselor, it is most important to listen to your gut, and trust your feelings.  If the counselor makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, you have the right to seek someone else.
