If you need counseling or psychotherapy,
there is no task more important than locating and choosing a counselor or
therapist that best meets your needs. Of course this can be difficult if
you are uncertain about what you need.
The following information and guidelines should
help.
Counseling primarily involves defining problems,
decision making, problem solving and providing, information, advice or guidance.
It is easy to find an experienced and highly trained
therapist. Without assistance and information, it can be extremely difficult to
find a psychotherapist who cares, respects your privacy, is willing to confront your
managed health care company and will hold your legal and ethical rights above their own
financial benefit.
