Green Flags:
They are respectful of who you are and how you identify.
You don't need to constantly re-explain things.
They're open to feedback.
When they challenge you on occasion, it's not judgemental and doesn't feel antagonistic.
Most importantly, you feel heard and like your feelings are valid.
They practice active listening.
They encourage boundary setting.
If you ask for "homework" they can provide you with appropriate readings, tools, practices.

Red Flags:
Any unethical behaviour - flirting, violating confidentiality, trying too hard to be your "friend", crossing boundaries.
Racist, sexist, bigoted remarks.
You feel they're distracted or not paying attention.
They cancel on you last minute, on multiple occasions.
They don't accept feedback.
You feel judged, shamed, or embarrassed (because of something they say/do in response).
Trust your gut - if you get a bad feeling even if you can't put a finger on why, you do not have to stay.
