ISO therapist

[Anonymous]

I posted this under Teens and Tweens also, but maybe this is a better place.

I have a 12-year-old DD who may be in the early stages of an eating disorder, and possibly also depression. This is all new to us; neither spouse nor I have ever visited a therapist. We have BCBS FEP insurance and are in Silver Spring. Can anyone recommend some who could help us?

I'd start with your pediatrician. They should have a list of therapists, esp. if any deal with eating disorders. They will also likely know who works with insurance (vs. those who don't).

Good luck.

Some recommendations from an older thread. OP, you will find that the vast, vast majority of mental health providers do not take insurance, but you would be able to submit for re-imbursement if your insurance provides for this. GL.
