Massachusetts Therapist Recommendations?
ImAllie:
Thanks Jennifer -
Yes, sorry about the misspelling - it was autocorrect! I know who you’re speaking of, and I didn’t mention her last name as I didn’t think it was my place.
My situation is pretty much the same as yours was. In my 50’s, married, I very much want to discuss things with someone before I tell my wife and in fact I’d like someone to help me figure out the best approach for that.
You raise an excellent question that I do have… that I suppose I should raise in another thread, I see so many therapists who offer to have an initial call and/or email to discuss compatibility prior to engaging for a first session. Whenever I see that I think it’s a great idea, although I don’t really have any context or idea what I’d ask or how to do that.
You’ve given me a nice outline of the types of categories therapists may fall into, so that’s a start for sure.

Thanks for your note and message! For some reason it wouldn’t allow me to reply to your message, so I wasn’t able to do so. I’m not sure if it’s a setting I need to fix or something? ...hopefully I can figure out how to reply at some point. LOL

Oh ok, thanks for the info Rakel! I was kind of going crazy trying to figure out what I was missing! 😂

I know my therapist has retired ... googling on line I see listings for DIANE ELLABORN in Framingham... She goes back to my day (I transitioned in 97 and she was well known already back then.
I never met her but over the years I heard some good things about her... but she may also be retired by now.

Thank you Karen!
That's the one therapist, ironically, who I'd heard negative things about... of course it could just have been a few dissatisfied former patients or whatever. But in searching for reviews of the names I found, she has a bunch of people who don't speak well of her for whatever reason. Again, like anything else all that means is it's 1 or 2 person's opinion so I still take it all with a grain of salt! Thanks for the recommendation. I'll at least add her back to the list again.
