Hey, that's a tough question. My gut feeling is that it would not be a good idea to go to someone you know at all. At least for me, I think I'd find it upsetting if my T had any connections at all to anyone I knew even vaguely. My T was recommended by a psychologist friend -- she never even met him but had heard of him through her network -- and even that bothered me a little bit. It just feels safer if it's somehow completely separate from everything you know. At least to me. So that's my two cents... Good luck!
