I used the Psychology Today web site to get a list of female therapists in my area who accepted my insurance. I contacted a few - one wouldn't work due to scheduling difficulties, one turned me off by her email response, I went to see one that was not at all friendly or personable, then I tried the one that I finally choose. She is friendly, appears to be competent and schedules appointments at times that are convenient for me.

I wanted to find a psychologist, but ended up with a counselor with a master's degree.

I also researched several that didn't take insurance, but none of the seemed to be 'better' than the one that I found that I picked that takes my insurance. I tried one who didn't take insurance for a while after my T of 5 years quit, but I didn't think she was helping me enough to justify paying full price.

Good luck
