After rejecting some counselors and some counselors rejecting me (yes a counselor can reject you), I finally accepted a great therapist with 15 plus years experience in the areas of my specific needs. She's extremely competent in most psychological areas with many certifications, quick response times, worksheets for you to help yourself with, great offerings of suggestions, and alternative therapies to try, in addition to medication if you choose to go that avenue.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
