How do I know I've chosen the right psychotherapist for me?

Hello Ginger!
I forgot to send her a text this weekend telling her I would be discontinuing seeing her. She did not call today. I think she got this message. I certainly hope she and her friend ( my nurse practitioner) were not talking and it was mentioned by my nurse practitioner that I wouldn't be seeing her again.
I had a session with my nurse practitioner this week and she asked "when did you last see Priscilla?" I just said she lacks many qualities that I need in a therapist. I feel most uncomfortable when my nurse practitioner and my psychotherapist personally know one another and that is reason enough for me to stop seeing her.

@lsittll It sounds like you made a good decision. To be sure, please consider texting her, thank her for the time spent with you [even if you did not find it productive!] and let her know you will be seeking support via other venues. I bet you will heave a sigh of relief once you have done this, and closed that chapter. It will have you ready for what you decide to do next!
