My daughter is a Therapist but not downtown.

She told me Psychology today is a good start

Best referral is word of mouth and one’s network. Reviews online are biased and often misleading

Maybe consider those with MS degrees with LCPC designation. Are you seeking a psychologist or psychiatrist?

Does your company offer a EAP or referral program? That might be a good place to start

Psychologist - I know there are MS people who are good, but even harder to sort thru.

PhD is l unnecessary for therapy- look for certifications (LCPC). My therapist is incredible- link to his profile below:

My amazing boss is leaving. They have been a champion for me and the best leader I’ve ever had. I am devastated. I’ve usually had ok to not great managers so have never experienced this feeling before. It’s like im going through the stages of grief. Having a great leader has been like oxygen. The difference for my mental health is like night and day. I remember how my life was when I had a not great manager and I just can’t go back to that. Any words of wisdom or advice? I feel lost and alone.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

Need your help 🐠 I feel like I‘m always sick (flue like symptoms ~2x per month). The doctors either just treat the symptoms or give me referral for a specialist for one or more symptoms, I feel like I‘m getting nowhere with that. Any advice on what tests I can ask for that helped you in the past? Any recommendations for a more complete checkup in Manhattan (ideally covered by most insurances)? TIA!
