Psychologist Recommendations

That would be highly subjective based on the issues you're dealing with.

Very fair assessment. The interest is with someone who can deal with existential concerns about mortality due to a cancer diagnosis, and a desire to improve as a husband. Maybe support in processing emotions, addressing existential fears, and enhancing interpersonal skills?

Well said. Or at least someone who wants to hear your thoughts and aren't just waiting until they can speak.

Great man. I have no idea about the insurance but he is very wise and listens with intent.

Go to your insurance website and search for providers in network within a specified radius from your home. Could try www.psychologytoday.com as a search engine to find a local provider. Good luck with finding one accepting new patients and your insurance. You will have more luck finding one that charges $120-150 cash per hour. If you are unhappy with healthcare in the US don't vote Republican.

You're going to have a hard time finding a male clinical psychologist in the Lafayette area unfortunately

My therapist is a 29 year old female (no pics, she's kind of chunky). Needless to say I had misgivings, but she's who was available that was in my network. As it turns out she's pretty empathetic and insightful. Would a 40-60 year old man have a better frame of reference about my experiences? Of course, but she's pretty good.

I’ve had all types of therapists and the younger female ones are usually the most empathetic. The older males tend to challenge you and your thoughts, and it can be unsettling when you are in a vulnerable state. Different things work for different people though. I’ve had 3 therapists that I’ve really connected with and about 4 that I didn’t. A good therapist helps a lot, even if it’s just to have someone bounce ideas off and be an unbiased voice.
