I'm looking for a site similar to the one below. I found it mentioned on the BPD board sticky. I couldn't get the link to open on my phone. I'm interested in learning about different therapies and trying to locate therapists that offer them near me.

"Or sometimes we end up in a type of therapy that isn't helpful. If you haven't researched types of therapies and therapists, you can do so here: Consumer information about Clinical Psychology : Psychotherapy, Therapy, Counseling, Mental Health | Clinical Psychology | A Guide to Psychology and its Practice.

I was fortunate to finally find, after many years, a therapist who is psychodynamic/psychoanalytic and who specializes in bpd. She has a Masters degree in Early Childhood Development and is certified in analysis. This is what I was looking for after researching. I found her by contacting the psychoanalytic insititute near me and asking if they had any candidates (students) near me. They did, my T. She has been a therapist for 20 years. I'm so so lucky to have found her.

I hope you find what you need, sb."

My recommendation is to check to see if you have an EAP (Employee Assistance Plan at work). Most EAPs have such websites that can direct you to the best resource(s). An EAP is a kind of clearing house in that they can provide different options to you and get you in touch with help appropriate to your needs. In most cases they will act as a third party in that they will 1) make you the appointment and 2) and innitiate the required paperwork for the benefits used. In this way, the service should be entirely anonymous. However n the case of work related difficulties(harassment, anxiety, stress, etc) in the workplace, they can also act as an advocate on your behalf with Human Resources. My EAP even sent me a care package. (mine was thru 'Warren Sheppell'

If you wish to do this all on your own you might wish to start with asking yourself whether you are: goal oriented, process oriented, or emotionally oriented. Goal oriented is self explanitory; CBT would fall into that category. The other two are more feelings directed with a lot of exploration of your feelings and behavior.

Thank you for the information.

I do have access to EAP here at work. I contacted them letting them know I was looking for a therapist and they sent me a list of the few in my town that are covered. That was the extent of their help.

I am definitely looking for a therapy/therapist that will help me explore my feelings and behavior. That us what I've been struggling with and I don't know who to go to or what type of therapy would best suit me. I'm not familiar at all with this type of thing and I just feel lost.

If you run a couple of searches - a lot of websites come up.

Here is one:

The American Psychological Association has a good page under their "Psychology Topics"/"Therapy" called "Different approaches to psychotherapy":
