I don't know what disorders I have but I score very high in these tests:
* Avoidant Personality Disorder
* Borderline Personality Disorder
* Social Anxiety Phobia
* ADHD/ADD
* Suicide
* Bipolar

From other discussions here at PC I gather that it's unreasonable to find a therapist who treat all of that. Is a PhD psychologist even required or is a MFT a good choice as well?

Thanks!
I’ve seen LMFTs as an individual. They were no different from therapists who focused on individuals (LPCs, LCSWs, etc.).
Thanks for this!
