A. When looking for therapy in Scottsdale/Arizona/Oregon/Washington (or anywhere else, for that matter), two of the most important factors are as follows.
1) Experience in treating the condition you are dealing with. This is because you will want someone who has enough experience to know the best way to treat you.
