> I think it's more appropriate to talk about "suitable" therapist.

Can you say any more about how a therapist might be more suitable for some patients than others? Is it about a methodology (like cognitive behavioral therapy), or about disorder(s) the therapist usually treats (like addiction), or is it something else (possibly something the patient won't discover until after treatment starts)?

Being able to emotional connect to a therapist can be far more important than methodology.

If it’s all about methodology then a) we’re robots and b) there would be no need for therapists.

Even something like gender could affect the process. There are so many variables when it comes to real people.
