ONLINE PHONE SUPPORT FOR ANXIETY NYC?

Hello and welcome to healingWell.  This is Kitt.  I am going to post you a couple of links that may help you out.

First is this article re using telephone or online therapy where you pay.:

Whenever you use a medical site online look for the HON blue and red code usually located near the bottom of the page...........  HON was founded to encourage the dissemination of quality health information for patients and professionals and the general public, and to facilitate access to the latest and most relevant medical data through the use of the internet.

HON cannot guarantee the accuracy of medical information presented by a site and its completeness at any given time, but possession of the HONcode seal allows a site to demonstrate its intention to contribute to quality medical information through the publishment of objective and transparent information.

Second, one of the best therapies around is CBT therapy.  Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps patients to understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors. From our own resources here in the A & P Forum I am posting you a link that many of us have used over the years.  It is a free online site that has the CBT program for you to work through on your own if you cannot work with a therapist in person.

I hope this helps you get started in looking for therapy. 

Please rememberanything you read here in the forum should never take the place of your own physicians medical advice.

Kindly,

Kitt

I am so sorry to hear you had this nasty experience,  however, I am going to have to remove this person's name per forum policy.   If you put your email address in your profile and check " allow people to view"  - members can email you if they are looking to know any specifics re this person. 

I know a Pyschologist right here in our city who I do not feel is ethical.  An acquaintance of mine lost her 24 year old daughter to cancer about 4 weeks ago and her Dr. recommended this psychologist to help my friend deal with her grief.  On her first visit to this "Professional" she was told "the first thing you need to do is accept that the devil is causing you  to feel so sad and angry" about the death of her daughter.  Hogwash!  However, this friend did not take the opportunity to talk with someone at the clinic and report  this unprofessional advice.

It is truly sad when people who are hurting and need help are taken advantage of.  I have been to 5 therapists over the past 31 years and one I felt did me more harm then good and yes, I did report my concerns to the Department Head.

Coming here to this forum may be a huge help to you as you can vent, make friends, ask and share advice with the other members;  knowing that the Moderators of this forum will not allow anyone to be insulted or verbally abused. 

Your Forum Moderators:  stkitt ( Me), Scaredy Cat and Hibee .  Our emails are in our profiles and I am always open to receiving email.

I hope we will be able to help you so feel comfortable in sharing your issues re anxiety and panic attacks.

I wish you peace,

Kitt
