As you select a counselor, please realize the obvious: you are going to hire a consultant to assist you in your recovery. Your values, issues and personality will be under review by the therapist. Therefore, be sure to ask the right questions from the beginning. Therapists, or their support staff, should not resent a brief interview prior to scheduling an appointment.
