Years ago, I was having lots of issues with anxieties. Hence, I decided to see a therapist so I could learn how to cope.
It was clear to me quickly that this was a counselor that was a good fit for me. She had a lot of advice to give and gave what I felt was good advice.
But as we started working together, she was honest with me about the fact that, at the time, she didn't have much experience as a psychotherapist. She also told me that she had a lot to learn, and that many more experienced therapists were better at it than she was.
When she told me this, she wasn't exactly overwhelming me with confidence.
However, I think it was good that she was honest with me about her qualifications. I had the right to know, after all.
If you decide to work with a new therapist, I think they should be honest with you about their qualifications, especially if you ask them what their qualifications are. You have the right to know. After all, you deserve the best possible treatment.
As for this therapist, despite the fact that she was new to her profession back then, I found her to be quite good at it.
