Hi there,

Here's a place to start.

I contacted the psychoanalytic isntitute in the largest city close to me, asked if they had a candidate (student who is hightly qualifiied and screened, is currently a therapist, etc) who was in my area. I found my T that way because I wanted psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I wanted depth therapy and not CBT-type therapy.

I am BPD and she is wonderful. This won't be short term and I am happy about that. She isn't covered by my insurance but I actually like that.. no one to 'report' to about treatment.

The San Francisco area seems to have an abundance of therapists and analysts. I can see why you would be thinking about that. Try the institutes and see if you can find someone closer.
