How do I choose the right psychotherapist?
Choosing a psychotherapist is an important decision that affects the course of treatment and its results. The criteria for selecting a psychotherapist include:
Training and Certification: Ensure that the psychotherapist has a degree in a relevant field (psychology, psychotherapy, etc.) and is certified by the relevant professional organization. Ideally, in addition to his/her academic studies in psychology , he/she needs to have specialized in a psychotherapeutic approach and be in ongoing treatment and supervision himself/herself.
Experience: Look at the psychotherapist’s background. Experience in similar issues can be valuable.
Approach: consider the psychotherapist’s way of working and his or her approach to therapy. It is important that you agree with the philosophy of his/her psychotherapeutic approach.
Chemistry: The relationship and chemistry between you and the psychotherapist is important. You need to feel safe and trusting.
Availability: Consider the hours and availability of the psychotherapist on our team. It must be convenient for you.See a short biography of Spiros Manganiotis and Phoebe Anastasaki.
