Easy starts w call: See if there is someone who specializes in the issue you want help with, check w friends or your physician if they can refer to someone that's good.. Or do some internet research. You may want to use your insurance benefits.. And see who is in your network. Than it's having the courage to make the call, meeting and see it it's a good fit (one of the most important things).

You can call your: state psychological association (or view online) and ask for referrals to a clinical psychologist. if you tell them the general area you want help w/they can direct you to the proper type of specialist. They usually give you three names. Peace and good health.

You can look : online on PsychologyToday.com, call your Heath insurance company and get a referral or call a hot line and ask for leads for psychologists in your area. Then give them a call and tell them why you would like an appointment. See how you feel talking to them on the phone. If you feel comfortable, make an appointment.

Referral: Some insurance plans require that your primary care physician make a referral on your behalf to a psychologist. Others do not. Call up your insurance carrier and find out what your policy is, and whether or not your doctor needs to make a referral. If your doctor does not need to make the referral you can find a psychologist in your area and call them up yourself.
