Where to start???
I know a good reputation/referral from someone else is a good thing.
I tried going through the list of doctors covered by my insurance on their website, and therapist #1 that I tried yesterday (we had a first appointment)was a disappointment -- spacey/flakey/not very intelligent. I don't think I'll go any further through that list.
I have been suffering bipolar suicidal depression and have been in crisis for a few months, so I feel like it's a crucial time for me to get very strong support -- not from a flakey space cadet. My old T has not been able to support me when I was gone for 5 weeks -- I guess liability got in the way. :( -- and is out of town for the next two weeks. So I've been angry and also feeling like therapy with her has been dragging now for at least 6 months, so it's a good time to start with someone new. I'm really just grasping at straws and trying to keep my head above water right now.
