I'd add the caveat that therapists are like friends and teachers: who they are as people matters for how effective they are professionally.

Treat finding a therapist like dating or considering a friendship with someone. A therapist can be a very good therapist (objectively) but not click with you.

It's okay to say "I'm trying out multiple therapists right now to see who fits best. Can we just do introductions with each other?"

Find someone who you respect, shares some beliefs with you, and generally has a compatible outlook on life.
