In search of help: how to choose a psychotherapist
At some point in our lives, we may all feel overwhelmed and in need of help coping with our problems. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), more than 30 million people in the United States need help coping with feelings and problems that seem beyond their control: problems with their marriage or personal relationships, a family situation or cope with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, depression, stress, exhaustion or substance abuse. These losses and stresses of daily life can sometimes be considerably debilitating.
