Many psychologists offer a "meet & greet" sort of thing, where they will meet with you for 10 minutes or so, just so you can get a feel for them. I think this is worthless and a waste of time and gas (if you drive). It might work best if you could just talk with them a moment on the phone. I would have questions in mind (as well as the answers youre looking for) such as gender or age or physical address. You might wonder if they take your insurance and what their billing policies are. If youre savvy enough to know what kind of treatment modality might work best for you, let them know. It may give you something to talk about in which you can glean more information about their personality, vocabularly, and so on. Do you like their voice and what they have to say? Do they make you feel or think differently? Can you learn from this person? Can you relate to them and can they help you with your problem?
Or you could just ask around.
