Top 5 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Therapist in Albuquerque

April 29, 20251 min read

Finding the right therapist is kind of like dating — the connection has to feel right. You’re sharing your inner world with someone, so it’s important to feel safe, respected, and aligned. 💛

Before you commit, ask these five questions to help guide your decision:

  1. What is your approach to therapy? Every therapist has a style — whether it’s cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, EMDR, or a blend.

  2. What populations do you specialize in? Some therapists work best with teens, couples, trauma survivors, etc. Make sure they have experience with your needs.

  3. What does a typical session look like? Ask what you can expect and how they tailor sessions to individual needs.

  4. How do you measure progress? It’s helpful to know how your therapist will track growth or change throughout your journey.

  5. What availability and payment options do you offer? Make sure scheduling, insurance, and fees align with your life.
