You can start with your general practitioner doctor. Do you have one?

If you have insurance, you can also call your insurance company to ask about psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners are in the network.

You can also just google "psychiatrist" and your area ... name several nearby towns ....

Start with your general practitioner.

Other then the preceding great suggestions, you can try psychologytoday.com which has a therapist finder. You can filter it for which type of specialist as well as for region/area.
