Seeking therapist rec in SF / Peninsula; w/ exp. managing Bipolar II
June 22, 2021 7:15 AM Subscribe
Many years of therapy, but relatively recent diagnosis (and treatment) for Bipolar II.
Love my therapist but he's not experienced in structured treatment of BPII. He is not the droid I am looking for. Do have a psychiatrist already, love him, but need BPII therapist. *Yes, I will ask him also*.
I am safe. I am not in crisis. I am probably moderately hypomanic atm but have been and will continue to take all the meds and get all the sleeps. Praise be to the Quetiapine, the Lithium. At the moment I am extremely short of focus or executionary followthrough capability to peruse any of the many countless websites of professional psychology or psychiatric treatment organizations who do list by the dozens any number of therapist candidates who may or may not be capable and who may or may not take my insurance after I have somehow found the several hours and mental capacity needed to do the needful parsing of the data
Hence... I reach out to the AskMe hive mind for those who may have had direct experience with or knowledge of the type of professional I seek
I live on the upper outer peninsula but with easy access to SF.
Yes in today's constantly online everything world I am sure I could find a great telehealth provider but I would prefer to see someone in person if/when that ever becomes A Thing Again but more the point I spend all day every day in front of a damn screen and would really love to not have to attend to my mental health using one. And yes I also want a pony.
Thank you very much
Very, very much.
