recommend a Therapist?

[Anonymous]

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a therapist who might be helpful w. someone going through a long illness (in particular a frustrating, undiagnosed illness involving many medical test, etc)? I guess this would be for 'depression' related to this this illness, but also for coping skills in dealing with the unknown / frightening illnesses, etc.
Thank you for any advice.

Hi, I do not know a therapist to recommend to you but I wanted to offer 2 suggestions: if you work, is there any kind of Employee Assistance program available, and if not, can you maybe contact your health insurance provider and get a list of covered therapists? I am sorry you are dealing with a chronic health problem and know how draining and exhausting that can be. Another thought is to ask your dr. if they recommend anyone.
Hugs to you and I hope you find someone to help you deal with what you're going through.
PS, I also wanted to bump this up in case anyone knows a good therapist.

pp here, I also wanted to add that depending on the possible diagnosis, there might be support groups available. also, a minister/priest/rabbi might be helpful.
