So, you need to find a therapist. Maybe it’s for you: your life or your marriage is suffering. Maybe it’s for your child as you watch her struggle. No matter the reason, the task can feel daunting. There's the alphabet soup of PhDs, PsyDs, MDs, MSs, and MSWs, not to mention all the labels -- psychiatrist, psychologist, marriage & family therapist, family counselor, licensed professional counselor, social worker. Each one brings different training, experience, insights, and character to the table.

How can you find a therapist who is right for your needs? In this episode of Straight Talk, Sandra and her colleague, Georgia Dow, discuss the ins and outs of finding a good therapist who is both skilled as a professional and is also nonjudgmental, accepting, and patient.
