In-person therapy offers the personal connection many people prefer. Location and parking matter - choose a therapist in a convenient area. Check their office atmosphere when you arrive - you should feel comfortable and safe. Ask about their cancellation policy and what happens if you need to reschedule. In-person therapists often have more availability for specific times if you prefer consistent appointment slots. You can observe their body language and read their expressions, which some find helpful. Some specialties benefit from in-person work - for instance, somatic therapies that focus on body-based trauma work may be better in-person. Ask if they have experience with your specific issues and read bios carefully.
