I agree on the humility thing. I would not be comfortable with a slick, overly confident therapist who arrogantly presented interpretations as THE truth.
I look for: warmth, patience, empathy, humility, intelligence, eclecticism, interest in learning and keeping up with the field (knowledge of mental health disorders), ability to show respect for me, and reliability. I also want a therapist to have very good boundaries that are communicated well.
