Questions Couples Should Consider Before Hiring a Therapist to Help Them Reconnect

There are many questions that clients should think through before talking to a holistic, psychotherapist and couples therapist. Some of these questions are:

- **What are the main issues or goals that I want to address in therapy?** This question can help clients to clarify their expectations and needs, and to communicate them to the therapist. It can also help clients to prioritize their concerns and focus on the most important ones.

- **What are the qualifications and credentials of the therapist?** This question can help clients to ensure that they are working with a licensed and trained professional who has experience and expertise in the areas that they need help with. Clients can ask about the therapist's level of education, certification, specialization, and approach to treatment. They can also check online reviews or testimonials from previous clients.

- **What is the therapist's style and personality?** This question can help clients to determine if they feel comfortable and compatible with the therapist. Clients can ask about the therapist's values, beliefs, communication style, and rapport-building skills. They can also observe how the therapist interacts with them during the initial consultation or session.

- **How does the therapist measure progress and outcomes?** This question can help clients to understand how the therapist will evaluate their improvement and satisfaction with therapy. Clients can ask about the methods and tools that the therapist uses to monitor their symptoms, challenges, and goals. They can also ask about the frequency and format of feedback and reports.

- **How much does therapy cost and how long does it last?** This question can help clients to plan their budget and time for therapy. Clients can ask about the therapist's fees, payment options, insurance coverage, cancellation policy, and sliding scale. They can also ask about the expected duration and frequency of therapy sessions, and the criteria for termination or referral.

- **How does the therapist integrate holistic principles and practices into therapy?** This question can help clients to learn more about the therapist's philosophy and approach to holistic therapy. Clients can ask about the therapist's views on the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and how they address them in therapy. They can also ask about the specific techniques or modalities that the therapist uses or recommends, such as yoga, meditation, nutrition, etc.

- **How does the therapist handle couples therapy?** This question can help clients who are seeking therapy as a couple to understand how the therapist will work with them as a unit. Clients can ask about the therapist's goals and methods for couples therapy, such as improving communication, resolving conflicts, strengthening intimacy, etc. They can also ask about the role and involvement of each partner in therapy, and how they can support each other outside of sessions.
