When I was looking for a new therapist ten years ago, I interviewed a dozen of them before making up my mind. Once I narrowed the field down, choosing those whom I felt a connection with, but was still challenged by, I had about four visits to the finalists, and then chose one. It wasn't a hit-or-miss thing, but a deliberate choice. The only way to make my life better was to search for a therapist I could work well with for a long time.
Yes, it did work. I'm a much better person for it now, despite having had other episodes of depression. Don't just take the first therapist, find one you can work with. Otherwise, you're wasting time and money that could be better spent elsewhere.
