4. Demand that whoever treats you is a qualified psychologist and not just a therapist.

There are some centers that will offer you the services of therapists, who are usually people without a solid academic preparation, since they acquire their knowledge in short, informal courses and not always attached to the psychological theories.

Therefore, it is preferable that you choose a psychologist service that understands that you sometimes have inconveniences and that will allow you to reschedule your appointment at least a couple of hours in advance.
