Look for therapists who conduct a thorough initial evaluation and explain their treatment plan in clear terms. Verify that the clinic is properly licensed and that billing practices are transparent—avoid providers who pressure you into long-term packages upfront or operate on a cash-only basis with no documentation. Licensed practitioners should be willing to communicate with your physician and adjust your plan as you progress.
