Choosing a therapist is an important decision, and credentials alone don't tell the whole story.
An ethical therapist should:
✔️ Respect your autonomy and right to make decisions about your own life
✔️ Prioritize your wellbeing above personal, financial, or professional gain
✔️ Practice within their scope of competence
✔️ Welcome questions about their training, approach, and experience
✔️ Maintain appropriate professional boundaries
✔️ Be honest about what they know and what they don't know
It's also okay to be curious and ask questions.
Does this therapist have experience with my concerns?
Are they receiving supervision or consultation when needed?
Do I feel respected, heard, and safe in this relationship?
Therapy works best when it is built on trust, transparency, and ethical care.
