What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Look for a seasoned clinician, who has a NYS license in the field of mental health, for example with a degree in Clinical Social Work, PHD. Trust your gut in assessing whether the therapist is relating to you in you initial phone contact. It can be a hint of what you'll get in the course of therapy with them. They should also show some patience, sound confident, with a dash of warmth and, certainly concerned about your problem. You also want to sense they aren't overly concerned, as that may more reflect histrionics and neediness.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Think first about what is prompting you to call us in the first place. That should lead you to identifying your needs. Such as re-establishing Trust and Intimacy.
