Without judgement, keep searching until you find a therapist that feels right to you ~and~ to your dd.

You might want to research types of therapy as well and ask when contacting the therapist what type he/she does.

I'm not sure the degree designation is crucial, but I prefer a clinical psychologist who has experience with my type of issue/problem/diagnosis. I have also had good MSW's. It can often be more about how we connect than what the degree is. Gender is another consideration; I prefer females... but I didn't know that until I had had several male therapists and decided to see what it would be like to have a female.

I hope you find someone soon that has you thinking "Oh, finally.. just what I wanted!"
