What should i ask the psychologist to know if she is a specialist in cognitive behavioral therapy or no? thanks

Simply ask the: psychologist the question directly, just as you asked it here. "Feeling Good"is a book by David Burns that may help you get started. Peace and good health.

Theory and training: Ask about the theoretical background by which they practice - most will be able to offer specifics on this. Let them know that you are specifically looking for cognitive behavioral therapy. Also recommend asking about specific training and experience with empirically supported treatments (ie, treatments shown to be effective in clinical studies) in cognitive behavioral theory.

It is important 2ask: psychologists about their areas of expertise. The more U know about them the better U can assess whether they R a good match 4 the issues U R struggling with. If U know that cognitive behavioral therapy has been a good approach for treating phobias, ask what the therapist's experience working with CBT and phobias has been like. Look at their website or profile on sites like HealthTap and ask away!
