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'd email him and ask if he treats individual adults. The T I see (a PhD psychologist) specializes in categories that I'm not in (teens, young adults, athletes, couples), but I liked his profile, so I emailed and asked if he treated "not-so-young adults." He said he did, and I've been seeing him 2 years. And my husband and I got marriage counseling from a psychologist.
