In Need of a Therapist

I wish I had a therapist right now... I don't know where to find one

Can you help? connect today

I usually use Psychology Today to find a therapist: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists. If you are in school, a guidance counselor or student services center may be able to help.

I'm not in school at all. I thought I'd be happier but my dad is transphobic af and I don't have a safe space

I'm kinda scared of talking to a therapist rn because my life is just now getting back together and I'm afraid that if I say the wrong thing I'll get put in a mental hospital and I will lose all of my progress

a therapist is there to listen and help find coping mechanisms to improve your life. theyre only able to legally put you in a mental hospital if you tell them that youre going to harm yourself or others. i had the same fear at first but its very easy and theyll talk to you about it beforehand (if they are professional)

Do you have health insurance? If yes, you can contact your insurance and they might be able to give you a list of therapists. If you Google the names, you might be able to find one that lists being lgbt or an ally. Thats how ive been looking for a therapist for myself (not trans but gay and mentally ill lol)
