Was your original T ever able to get you those referrals? I feel for you as I have to look for a new T and it is daunting to find the right fit.

OMG there are so many BAD therapists out there!!! Not just not a good fit but just bad. I am kind of jaded with the online directories both PC and Psych today. Any fool it seems can hang out a shingle and call themselves a therapist.

I'm trying to get my T to give me well thought out referrals. It's a place to start. Are there any LGBT organizations that can refer therapists that are aligned with what you are looking for?

As a side note, I am frustrated with the online directories because everything seems like a code word. Christian counseling is the opposite of what I'm looking for so even though I'm straight, any T that seems LGBT friendly is probably closer to being for me than other options. I have to tease out phrases from profiles like "spiritual issues" (a NO for me) or "humanist" (getting warmer)

Some T's are whack jobs regardless of stance or training. I wish you the best. I hope you find a good fit and I hope you don't give up.
