Speaker,
Something else to consider which will vary depending on your situation is insurance/payment arrangements. When I was looking for my first therapist, it never occurred to me what would happen if/when my insurance no longer covered my visits. Fortunately, my former therapist was very willing to work with me when I ran out of covered visits. When I was looking for a new T a year ago, I made sure to ask them about that. My current T said that if insurance didn't pay, she would be happy to work something out with me (fortunately, my insurance is really good about paying for therapy, so this hasn't been an issue).
It would suck to be seeing a therapist for a while only to realize that you can no longer see him/her for financial reasons. I don't know your situation, but it's something to consider, and, perhaps, easier to talk about before you have become attached!
Good luck.
