Hey friend! I’m a MASSIVE proponent of the idea that mental health is the most important thing I can do to stay clean. Most of the stuff I used over was DIRECTLY related to unprocessed trauma, anxiety, etc. so this is something that is very close to me.

Start by checking psychologytoday.com

You can actually filter by distance and what your own personal needs are. I hope you get it figured out soon :slight_smile:

Finding the right therapist can be tough, but don’t give up, someone out there will understand and support you. Have you tried checking local recovery centers or asking for recommendations in your area? Sometimes word of mouth leads to the best fit.

Hopefuly you can find one now that have insurance...

I lucked out with mine.

I pulled her off my insurance providers website. And I also found her when I Google searched..
I too have anxiety and cptsd.
So I found and childhood trauma specialist as well as a substance abuse counselor.
The perfect combo for me.

Going to therapy had rocketed my recovery 100 fold.

Long story short. Don't give up you'll find the perfect therapist.
And it's a great form of self love to work on yourself
