My therapist has been the only one to provide an initial session without cost so we could meet each other. I think that's perfect, really. Recently, when looking for a therapist, I had phone interviews or paid sessions. While I respect a therapist's time, I've felt it unfair to pay simply to meet someone.
I feel blessed to have found my therapist. One reason that I didn't post on the psych board was that I had, first, a very harmful theraputic alliance, one that had a toxic transference. My next therapist was a lovely woman, but she didn't have the right tools to help me. Our sessions were more like chats with a very supportive friend.
