About this tool
TheMindNetwork’s therapist fit reflection is a free, 5-minute self-assessment for people who are already in therapy and wondering whether their therapist is the right match.
You answer 25 short statements about your experience — trust, progress, feeling heard, and comfort in sessions — plus one final reflection question. The tool helps you tell the difference between productive discomfort (working through hard things) and a poor therapist–client fit.
