Hello! New to this forum. I am reaching out for help for my wife. We have been married for almost 8 years and together for almost 12 years. My wife is an artist (jewelry designer) and has not recovered from when her business crashed in 2008. We moved to SoCal about 8 years ago because of a career opportunity for me. We both thought we would be happy in SoCal but life has been really tough here. I have my job and that keeps me moving. My wife on the other hand has struggled a lot and had not been able to sustain her career or evolve into something else. We are pretty lonely here because we do not have that much friends and distan family here, and I think I have reached my limits in terms of how I can help her change. I am desperate in trying to find a good therapist for her to see if that helps and was wondering if there are any recommendations. She also has ADHD and GAD as me, and is also dyslexic. she has so much to give to this world and it breaks my heart and kills me to see her so stuck for so many years. However, her parents were not very supportive in here childhood so she does not have that grit to plow on regardless of the situation, or it needs to be re-awakened. Any advise on how to search for therapists in the SoCal area that have experience with working with highly creative people that are extremely stuck in their journey is very much appreciated, or what types of therapies are best in this case. The therapists in my healthcare plan for the most part are not that great. Thank you.
