Finding a therapist/counselor/etc

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm hoping for a bit of advice. I've seen a couple of counselors in the

past, one actually introducing me to the concept of BPD and another one

suggesting it as well, but....I don't really know how to find a counselor

who might specialize more in that kind of thing...or even if that really

exists.

I just moved to a new area, on the opposite side of the country from my

mother, and I need to start seeing someone. I'm messing my life up and I

can't seem to stop myself.

Any suggestions for how to find a good counselor?

Thanks in advance.

The Psychology Today website has an excellent search function for finding

therapists according to location, insurance plans and specialty.

I found my current therapist using that website and she is experienced in

BPD and also took my health insurance. I specifically wanted someone who

had dealt with BPD issues and was able to find several in my area but she

accepted my health insurance so I went with her and it has worked out well

for me.

Good Luck in your search.
