Specializes in Clinical Psychology

I'd try CBT : A psychiatrist might know a drug, but i'd still hope that you try a cognitive-behavorial therapist for this issue. A pill won't help you learn how to navigate with others so that you and they benefit. This is a thing you learn, practice, rehearse and build on. With or without medications.

A cbt expert coach can be big help!
