How many people live in fear someone will find out, yet we are in an age of tell all, be all you can be. Yet when it comes to a mental illness too many hide and try to act as if everything is okay. Don't. You do more harm to yourself than good.

How do you pick and choose a therapist? Ask. Go to a few different therapists and ask them questions. You are paying. your insurance is paying for the time. So you deserve answers. Ask about them as far as do they have issue with their own families and if you get an answer like, we're not here to talk about me, we're here to talk about you, then they are evading.
No one is perfect and you need to know they have empathy from life experiences, not from a book and a degree and with that, in my opinion you want to look for someone not out of school, but someone with at least ten to fifteen years experience. By then they will have learned more about life, failures, celebrations and better ways to treat and really listen to those who pay them.
Also ask what do they think about meds vs. self help with therapy. You can't just walk in and like washing your hands, walk out better. You have to live your illness, face it and work on it every day.
