Potential avenues to find a therapist:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us
-you can narrow your parameters by town and state, insurance, preferred gender of therapist, modality, etc.

https://mentalhealthmatch.com/
-you answer questions about what you're experiencing and can choose therapists you want to match with. They take insurance and you can also search for private pay for potential sliding scale options.

-helps you submit superbills to be reimbursed by your insurance

-if you meet their requirements, you pay a one time membership fee and then can get linked up with a therapist for sessions $40-$70.

Ask for a consultation. Make sure this is someone you feel safe and comfortable with. If, at any point in time, you feel like they are not a good match for you, you do NOT have to continue working with them.
