My PCP recommended her. They had worked together a few year ago in a hospital ER and she knew my T had a private practice and would be perfect for me.

With my kids therapists (they have each seen somebody short term at one point or another). My therapist recommended one of them. One I use to work with at my job and the third one I called a local office that specializes in children and found a somebody who took our insurance then discussed with my T if this person would be appropriate.
