Still trying to figure out which therapist to see... I'm just so uncomfortable about this... I wish I could just take some test to determine which would be best for me! I know I can switch if it's not working out, but I only have until May or June with whoever I see, and want to avoid wasting any time like that. Maybe you guys can help me figure it out?
My issues are major depression, tendency towards suicide and negative thinking, loneliness and disconnectedness from others with problems trusting and being vulnerable, unhealthy eating patterns, some self-image issues and someone in the hospital who I trust thinks I have deeply hidden anger issues. History of self injury and BPD. Causes are chemical, childhood rejection/abandonment/bullying by peers, and emotional issues with mom.
These are the ones I can choose from:
Men:
"W. K.", Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
, Associate Director
Theoretical Orientation - Humanistic/Existential
Interest Areas:
» Understanding and integrating spirituality in psychotherapy
» How and when to focus on the existential aspects of issues in therapy
» Supervision and training
» Relational aspects of therapy
-This is the person I saw when I went in suicidal. I liked him, but I'm not sure about his theoretical orientation, it sounds kinda off, like it might not sit well with my Christian beliefs, but I'm really not sure.
"E. K.", Psy.D., Coordinator of Crisis Intervention & ACES
Theoretical Orientation - Cognitive Behavioral
Interest Areas:
» Crisis Intervention
» Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)
» Consultation/Outreach
» Health Psychology
» Stress Management
» Emergency Management
» Disaster Mental Health
-I understand his theoretical orientation. But his interest areas don't really fit me, I think, except when I'm in crisis, I guess.
Women: (I'm more comfortable with men, generally)
"B. P.", Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist,
Director
Theoretical Orientation - Psychodynamic
Interest Areas:
» Supervision and Training
» Eating Disorders
» Disability and issues in therapy
» Development of the spiritual and psychological components of wellness
-I'm not sure if she's even seeing anyone new since she's the director. By her gender and picture I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable with her. But her theoretical orientation and interest areas seem like they could be a good fit for me, maybe.
"P. M.", Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
,Assistant Director and Director of Training
Theoretical Orientation - Integrative:Relational/Humanistic/Psychodynamic
Interest Areas:
» Supervision and Training
» Women's Issues
» Relationships
» Sexual Trauma
» Eating Disorders
-Again, a woman, I'm not so comfortable with women. Her theoretical orientation sounds like it's probably good in being integrative, but her interest areas don't really apply to me, at least in their general senses.
Any ideas?

Thanks
