CLINICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE HEART AND MIND.
Experience and expertise matter. 
We all know the cliché images of  therapy and therapists:  the fundamentalist healer who has found "the way",  the smarmy overly earnest kind-heart unhelpfully asking with doe eyes, "How do you feel?", and the blank-faced zoologist clinically examining another species.
So how do you choose your therapist?
Book knowledge is not enough.  Did you know that many therapists use techniques on others they have never experienced for themselves?  We cannot expect a person to guide us further than they have been themselves.
Dr. Krieger recommends that when seeking therapy, in addition to demanding licensure, credentials, training, and experience, ask your prospective therapist if they have had therapy themselves using they same techniques they will be using with you.  Note their response.
Finding better means demanding licensure, credentials, and experience as well as expertise. 
You want someone who has had first-hand experience of  interventions in addition to demonstrated skill in delivering professional care focused on fidelity to original theoretical and practical models.  In essence, the secret to getting great therapy is that the best-trained among us are those who not only learn to use techniques but are continually doing their own work through learning, experiencing, and honing techniques both in practice  and under professional supervision.
