I have had the best luck with pdocs for both meds and therapy.

That said, experience counts a lot, along with solid training.

Beware, some states in the U.S. are very lax in credentialing and allow "therapists" to obtain licensure when they have graduated from very inferior programs of education/training. These are some of the LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselors), M.Ed , M.S., M.A. credentials.
There are some very talented people with these credentials, however.

In this area, LICSWs are highly trained. (Licensed Social Workers, specializing in mental health.)

Some people are outstanding in their field, no matter the credentialing process.

I have a lot of medical issues, thus it's helpful for me to have someone specializing both in medicine and in mental health, due to the co-morbidities.
Pdocs work well for me. I am very lucky to have had access to very good pdocs.

Blue, are you looking for a new therapist/doctor?
