I have been sharing this document with friends, clients, and anyone who needs it for years. I'm getting a lot of messages on every portal asking for recommendations for therapists right now. I'm slammed myself, so I'm not really able to respond to everyone individually, but here's a really good starting place. Psychology Today's Find a Therapist is always a great resource, but a few days ago, I received an email from them asking me to update whether I'll see clients remotely. I updated mine, but I'm currently 100% full. Here's a tip: A lot of wonderful therapists who are willing to see people remotely live in less densely populated areas, and many of their usual local clients have barriers to using telemedicine options: bad internet connection, lack of comfort with technology, lack of time given circumstances, etc. So that means there are therapists who live outside your area who may be able to serve you and your loved ones right now. It's probably easier if you stay in state because of insurance plans, but when you search, search for therapists all over. Because why not?! And on Psychology Today right now, I think you can search by those who will see clients remotely. And honestly, I'm frustrated with those who won't adapt right now to see people remotely. It's not that hard, and it's a huge service given the state of the world. As always, therapists are notoriously slow to return calls because they tend to be in session a lot during the day. If they are homeschooling and what-not as well, they may be even worse, so reach out to a bunch of them at once and see who calls or emails back. Cast a wide net!
