there are plenty of fish in that sea so ask around for personal recommendations. ask your medical provider for some names since they often get these requests. going through the phonebook or internet is iffy but if you can talk to them on the phone first or agree on a less-expensive (or free) introductory meeting this would be great. getting a name is one thing but finding the right match is another. often you may not know if this is going to be an effective therapeutic relationship until you meet them a few times. be prepared to tell a new potential therapist what you are looking for: a same therapist of the same gender (many people related to the same or opposite sex providers so this is your choice) or ask if they have experience or expertise with your particular problems or issues. finding a therapist that "fits" is extremely important so i am proud that you are attempting to find a new one.
