Quality signals to look for

A qualified counselor should be transparent about their licensing status and willingly share details about their training and experience. Look for counselors who provide written session notes or summaries and maintain clear communication about fees and treatment plans.

A professional counselor will also respect your boundaries and never encourage dependency on their services.
