A visibly religious therapist is a No for me.
Okay, tell me your therapist red flags (and green flags!). How do you suss out if someone is a decent fit? both in meetings and their online listings & policies, anything you use to decide

Therapist red flags for me: Overshares their personal details and/or makes sessions about them not me. Pathologizes anything at all. Ignores my pronouns. Tries to solve me instead of guide me. AND if they insist I call them Dr. they BETTER call me Dr. too.

OMG a huge red flag for me - Any mention in session/website of Jesus. I am a survivor of Fundamentalism. I guarantee I tried Jesus very hard. I assume such a therapist sees me as not okay just the way that I am (Buddh-aeo Pagan). I am not inherently flawed. I do not need saved.

mention in your first meeting that you're not completely against the idea of medication but that for the first few sessions at least you'd like to just do talk therapy, so no prescriptions. If they can do that without pushing drugs immediately, they might be good people.

my red flag too.

I have to go to the 1st session & see what type of style they use vs. what they say. Plus personality compatibility stuff I can't be with a therapist that is visibly afraid of me (has happened before), and if all they specialize in is cognitive behavioral therapy I'm also out

Yes humanistic psychologist are where it's at!
