Psychologist Recommendations? (lemmy.world)

Looking for a psychologist or therapist, maybe. Preferably someone who has worked with cases of extreme isolation. Seen a few at random before, for various durations (longest for nearly a year), and they've all been completely inept at understanding my past and were not at all helpful.

Grew up in a cult-like environment, with no socialising as a child or young adult. Trying to recover as a former recluse and socially-stunted adult. Need some professional help, but don't really know where to get it. Past experiences have left me feeling like the whole profession is a scam though. Pay around $300 a session for them to tell you to take a walk and look at the trees.

Not from bris but been seeing a psychologist for a while. It may be hard for people to recommed since the way I've found it is that I had to see a few before I found one that "clicked" for me.

Have you got a family doctor? They might have a recommendation and they can get you a mental health care plan which will pay for some of your psych appointment for like 10 visits (any doctor can give you the plan afaik).
