Hi Everybody
When I first joined this forum, there were only about 700 members, but I haven't posted here for several years.

Lately I've been feeling like a pretty huge mess and I was wondering if some kind of talking therapy might be helpful. Does anyone have an opinion about that?

Also, does anyone have any knowledge of a good therapist on Long Island, NY (or even in the NYC area)?

Or, does anyone have any idea how I would go about finding such a therapist?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Skybar

Do you have a job with medical insurance?

Perhaps you could use one of the therapists on your plan.

The NYC area is chock full of good therapists. You just have to find what you feel comfortable with.

I'm from Queens, by the way.

Imagine that:

700 members in 2005.

90,000 members in 2014.

Website was not working when I checked it. I have no reason to believe it is more then a temp glitch as they
have been around and very active


If you can get the LIRR into the city they are very good and work with AHA.
They are at 303 5th Avenue near Penn Station
