Choosing a psychologist is no less responsible a task than choosing a doctor. Not only the effectiveness of therapy but also your safety depends on their qualifications, approach, and personal boundaries. Here is what really deserves attention.
Rule No. 1. Education
A psychologist, and especially a medical psychologist, must have a higher education diploma from a state-accredited institution. Diplomas from private "academies" or retraining courses without a fundamental foundation are no guarantee of quality. Ask for documents. A good specialist will not be offended by such a question.
Rule No. 2. Personal therapy and training
A psychologist is obliged to undergo personal therapy. You cannot guide others without first understanding yourself. It is also important that they have been trained in a specific method of psychotherapy (Gestalt, psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral therapy, etc.). Ask who they studied with, how many hours of training they have, and whether they have certificates. Medical psychologists undergo accreditation, which additionally confirms their competence.
Rule No. 3. Social media
If your psychologist has open social media accounts where they post photos from family dinners, fun trips, and personal experiences — this is a reason to be wary. A specialist's personal information should not be accessible to patients. This is a gross violation of ethics. A patient should not know who the psychologist spends their leisure time with or what they eat for breakfast. This blurs boundaries and makes therapy unsafe.
A modern approach to therapy
In today's world, a good psychologist is a multifaceted specialist who uses different techniques rather than working in only one approach. Reality is changing, and people are no longer ready to go to therapy for years. An effective specialist knows how to quickly find the right tools for a specific task.
