how to find therapy

[nd0829]

I finally have insurance and I really would like to start some sort of therapy. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to find a therapist that deals with phobias. I live in the U.S so if anybody can direct me. I tried looking up different counslors but they dont say. Do I have to just take the time and call them all to see if they know about phobias and more specific this phobia. Thanks in Advance [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

Can i use your post as well


I have the same problem in the UK, i search the internet and everyone claims that they can cure emet, some say one session some say six months then i find they have CD's to send for and you tell them what phobia you have so they can add in the right words so i think it's not specifically for emet it's just a script for all phobia's. I went through the NHS ( free service) about five times in my life but no one had heard of it and i was sent home.


I have hit a brick wall and would love to find a therapist.

hi cloughie


i had this problem with the NHS I was referred to a psycologist acttually ended up with a trainee who had no idea about this phobia or how best to treat it and sort of hit a brick wall too after that so if anyone else in uk or scotland can recommend anyone it would be really helpful
