Help me decide..would you go for psychologist or therapist?

Id like a psychologist because the topics I've discussed with past therapists, they seem to not delve into it with me. I'd love one that's a bit older with many years experience.
So far in my search, I could email a PSYCHOLOGIST only a few years older than me, but she DOES have twenty years Experience. Or, try for a THERAPIST who is older like I wanted, (just not a Dr.)...

You mean a psychotherapist I suppose. You first need to see a psychologist who will then refer you to a psychotherapist if need be.

But what's the condition you're seeking help for ?

@Coralmist There probably are groups for that close by. I did a men's group for it. Mine was brought on by my first marriage. Took a couple of years to work through.

Could you do a phone consult possible with both at different times to get a feel for who you mesh better with? Finding a good psychologist or therapist is kind of like finding a good hair stylist sometimes it takes a long time before you find the right one

@SW-User I thought of that a bit after posting. I think I'll try that🙂

Why do you think you need a psychologist? Do you have a particular issue or would a group be ok. It's a lot cheaper.

Look up psychologists who list those issues as their specialities(as well as narc personality disorder as it applies to your situation).
