Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their healthcare providers regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask the following psychotherapy-related questions:

1. What is your experience as a psychotherapist?
   
   
2. What degrees and licenses do you hold?
   
   
3. Do you have special training in treating patients with my condition?
   
   
4. What type of psychotherapy do you recommend for my condition?
   
   
5. What occurs during a regular therapy session?
   
   
6. How long will my treatment last?
   
   
7. Will I need medication as well? Are you able to prescribe medication or will I need to see an additional healthcare professional?
   
   
8. Will psychotherapy cure my condition?
   
   
9. Can you recommend any complementary therapies for my condition?
   
   
10. Given my mental health history, what is the best way to prevent a relapse?
