Typing this at 3 in the morning, which probably tells you most of what you need to know.
My longtime provider retired, good for her, not so good for me, and I've put off finding someone new for far too long. Between anxiety, depression, and a few life changes that all decided to show up in the same year, I'm done pretending I can white-knuckle it.
So I'm looking for two things (same office or separate, I don't care): a therapist, and someone who does psychiatric medication management. I'd really like someone on the older, experienced side. No offense to the young ones, but I want a person who has seen a lot and doesn't need to consult a pamphlet. Gentle is a must. I'm not up for a drill sergeant, or a 10 minute appointment where a prescription gets slid across the desk.
They have to take insurance, I'm not made of money, and the property tax bill already took care of that. Saline County is ideal. I'll drive to Little Rock if somebody is truly worth it, but I-30 at 8am is its own mental health condition. Telehealth is fine too.
If you've got a "don't bother, 6 month waitlist" story I'd take that as well, it saves me a phone call. Feel free to PM if you'd rather not say publicly.
Thank you in advance. And kind replies only please, I'm asking nicely...
