I’m going back and researching a bit more today. It’s a bit difficult to find a therapist in suburbia when you haven’t got a car, and have very few means of purchasing a car.
Good news, however! The two nicer therapists I’ve already talked to are not within walking distance of any Metro-North stations… but I searched again, and it seems that there is one excellent-sounding psychologist who has an alternate office within walking distance (only 1 mile away, and Google Maps shows that there are sidewalks along the route) of my apartment. I’ve called and left her a voicemail – and am waiting quite eagerly for her call back. If she’s accepting new patients and does indeed practice in Milford (and, of course, if I get a good vibe), then it’s settled. Her specialty, as she says, is CBT, and she focuses on ” maintaining good rapport between therapist and client with unconditional positive regard, support, and empathy.”
I mean… I honestly became really emotional when I read that. Sort of… sad and eager at the same time. Tears were shed.
So… working on it. Getting closer. I hope to begin therapy this coming week.
