Just a few suggestions....

a. Do you know what orientation the therapist you saw before that you got along well with? You might want to start with finding someone with the same orientation. If you don't know, you can Google them and see if it's online (eg. Cognitive-Behavioural, DBT, Pyschodynamic, etc)

b. When I first tried therapy, I emailed one place that had several therapists and asked if anyone had evening appointments. They did, so I was able to work full time and go after work for an appointment. The centre did NOT post this information online though, so don't be afraid to call/email and ask.

c. Don't feel too bad if you go to meet a few therapists before you meet someone you mesh well with. Sometimes you have to try a few people before you find a goof fit.

d. Starting with talking to your doctor is a great idea! They might have some good referrals for you and help you get going.
Thanks for this!
