My social worker therapist has a masters in social work and is licensed by the state. I think that's the most typical degree for US therapists, and the masters programs are intended to prepare for doing therapy. A licensed psychologist in the US will have a PhD. A therapist with a masters degree other than MSW will have a another type of license, and you should investigate to find out the level of formality in that program.

My job offers an Employee Assistance Program. I can call there, get a referral to a counselor. Your employer may offer this as well, it is a very common benefit.
One approach is to contact a local university, the psychology department may have a clinic where graduate students work. Consider calling a local women's or families center, non-profit, to ask if they have counselors on staff. Finally you might want to ask the leader of your religious congregation, if you belong, for a suggestion of a counselor. You can say you are having some challenges getting adjusted after your move?

Sorry the doc said that to you - geez, don't they get the news about Wall Street and the mortgage industry?
