I wonder if there is an LGBT organization (like a support group or political group) in your area that might keep lists of LGBT-friendly Ts. Maybe it's possible there are some on their list that aren't on Psychology Today's?

Thank-you. I should have mentioned that I actually used an online LGBT therapist referral network BEFORE I even went to Psychology Today. I called the everyone on the (short) LGBT list, then I went through the PT therapists who indicated they work with LGBT clients. This morning I expanded my criteria and made a few new calls. I also got an email last night from my real T, in response to the email I sent her business. She said she had been thinking about me and hoped that my summer was "joy-filled." She gave me one name, and said I was free to write her while she is on leave. On the surface, I get that it sounds like a nice message, but it felt really "off" to me and, honestly, pretty fake. The email I sent her business indicated that I was having a horrible time finding a temporary T and indicated that she did not give me the referral I was promised. She took no responsibility for that and, if she thinks my summer is "joy-filled" with no T and no support following an assault, she is really not paying attention. And how could she be thinking of me often and not remember she didn't give me a referral? Anyway, I sent her a polite email back asking her how she is feeling, if she got any more news on her health, and if/when she might be returning. So far, no response. I also called the T she recommended, and no response yet from her either. Her website also says she is not taking new clients, so I think it's a bogus rreferral.
What are some online sites I might try?
