I would find someone by word of mouth. My counselor is not a liscenced counselor at all, but an ordained minister who has a counseling practice out of her home. I personally know 6 people besides myself who have seen her and they all thought she was gifted. A good friend of mine has been in and out of therapy the majority of her life with counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists and I referred her to mine. She (my friend) said the counselor is the best she has ever seen and for once, finally, she feels like she may be able to resolve her issues and not be in counseling forever.
IMO a good counselor won't keep you coming back forever, but will get to the issues, get you healthy (actually it's you that will do that and not the counselor), and move you on.......at least that's how mine practices.
