How do I select a Counselor who is right for me?

Selecting the right Counselor is crucial for healing. Research has shown that the best predictor of treatment success is the relationship between the Counselor and the client. It is important for the client to find a Counselor he or she can trust and that he or she thinks is a good match for his or her personality style. A Counselor should not just tell the client what he or she wants to hear, but should be honest and direct and tell the client what he or she needs to hear to in the healing journey.
