Horrible Therapist? How to Spot Red Flags and Know If Therapy Is Working
Hosted by Amanda Smith, MA, MSW, LCSW and Amanda Mitchell, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC
We played a game called “Horrible Therapist”… and it sparked a deeper conversation about something a lot of people quietly wonder:
How do you know if your therapist is actually good?
In this episode of The Off-Label Podcast, we break down:• Red flags in therapy• Green flags in therapy• What good therapy should feel like• How to know if therapy is working• How to tell if your therapist is the right fit
Therapy should feel collaborative, safe, and grounded in real clinical skill — not awkward, dismissive, or performative. We talk about the difference between discomfort that leads to growth and discomfort that signals something isn’t right.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this normal in therapy?” this episode is for you.
As always, this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for individualized therapy or medical advice.
