One of the best things I've ever done was to find a coffee shop to frequent. I've made many very very good friends there. One of them was a psychologist. Last year when I decided to get some therapy of my own, I asked her for a referral. I will only ever purchase professional services through a referral. That said, you want a therapist that matches how you want to see yourself as becoming. Mine is warm, friendly, and approachable, all things I'd like to be myself. I once had the idea that a more analytical approach might be more helpful, and so tried one out for a few sessions. Nothing worked, total waste of money.
