How to choose a therapist: Ask if they accept the thousands of behavior genetics studies showing that every psychological trait is heritable, and that almost none are significantly influenced by shared family environment ('childhood experience'). If they don't, keep looking.

But do therapists exist to treat "psychological traits"? For instance if you went to a therapist over a marriage problem, it has nothing to do (that I can see) with heritability of traits.

If psychology is heritable, Why would you need a therapist? Just have someone the decode the genetics.

Ideally, therapy isn't about changing your traits. It's about developing life skills to make the most of them, given one's environment.
