Finding a Good Therapist For Anxiety and Depression

[PositivePD]

How can I find a good therapist? I have called a few and left messages. It seems like no one is returning calls. I guess most are working remotely.

I would try calling back. Look on line at their offices hours. They are a little messed up right now. But someone should be in the office and get back to you. It might take a while, I know it took me a month before I could actually get into the office for the first time. Also if they have profiles on the website of the office. Take a look and see what they specialize in, that may be helpful in finding someone who can really help.

It's a problem. It is very difficult to find the right mental health professional right now, both therapists and psychiatrists. What will happen is you will keep trying and leaving messages and eventually you will find the right person. It took me a month during a crisis earlier this year to find a psychiatrist to prescribe medication, and yes it was done online. I would prefer in person, but we'll get there soon I suppose.

Thank you! I plan to go online and continue my search today.
