• Ask about the counselor's credentials, licenses, and areas of specialization to ensure they match your needs.
• Clarify the session length and cost upfront, and ask whether they offer sliding scale fees or accept your insurance.
• Discuss their approach to treatment and whether they have experience with your specific concern.

• Ask about their cancellation policy and what to expect during your first session.
• Inquire about confidentiality and how they handle crisis situations if needed.

Quality signals to look for

Look for counselors who are transparent about their credentials and fees before your first appointment. A reputable counselor will discuss treatment goals clearly and provide written information about their policies. Be cautious of providers who only accept cash without documentation, pressure you into long-term commitments without trial sessions, or have no verifiable online presence or contact information. It's reasonable to ask for references or to schedule a brief phone consultation to assess fit before committing.
