As a Marriage and Family Therapist, your most desirable clients would be the ones you can tick a box and confirm that they are on the road to recovery. Obviously, not every client is that easy. What characteristic do these dream patients have that makes your job so easy and rewarding. Steer clear of mentioning names and too much personal information. Feel free to mention a particular population if you know that it is the only population the agency works with.
