The little
Though there is some truth to what you write, in general, I’m going to strongly disagree with you
Being the product of a divorce and having been to numerous therapists as part of the process, I’m going to tell you that it is a big mistake for a frum person to go to a non frum therapist
Even amongst the frum I would give it a 50-50 of the ones that I would consider to be helpful versus unhelpful (and in some cases damaging)
The best advice that I give to people is, there is no substitute for common sense
And you can pick that up within one to two sessions with a person. If something seems off about the therapist, go elsewhere. Unfortunately, because somebody seeking out a therapist is in a vulnerable position. They are often prone to thinking that the person sitting behind the desk is somehow in a superior position to give them advice
A good percentage of people who become psychologists are people who are still trying to find themselves.
You need to find a therapist that has common sense, frum values, and is acceptable to all parties.
