I'd suggest contacting your old T and asking her if she has any recommendations of colleagues she has who treat adults. If that doesn't work, you can ask the primary care doc at your appointment.

Other than that, check with your insurance and see who's credentialed with them. Identify a few that have the qualifications you're looking for and call them for a phone consultation and see if you "click" with one of them.

Also, you can check psychologytoday.com to locate local therapists and read a little about them.

For me, and I think for most people, antidepressants work best in conjunction with therapy. Meds may not lift your depression completely, but they can get you stable enough to work on your issues with your therapist.

Good luck!
Thanks for this!
