If it's not too late dr Clara Whaley Perkins & Dr Cheryl Carter in Philly area & Dr. Brenda Wade nationally Chicago?

It depends on what you are looking for. If larger systemic status quo policy issues, then Dr. Evans. If actual clinical patient centric experience, then there is a good cross - section on this page. A good blend of the two is Dr. Marquita Williams.

Have you called your insurance, they should be able to tell you

Growth Opportunity Center in Bucks County - http://www.gocenter.net/

It is almost impossible to find a psychiatrist (MD) in the city that takes insurance, but many psychologists (PhD) do. So it's common to have a psychologist/therapist that you see often (weekly) for talking and a psychiatrist that you see much less often for medication, and who you pay for out of pocket. (If you have a PPO insurance plan, you can get most of the cost reimbursed by filing a claim form. ) If paying out of pocket is not possible (and obviously it isn't for a lot of people) you could try Penn Behavioral Health. They have a residency clinic with psychiatrists who just finished med school, supervised by faculty. Their pricing is more reasonable and they take some insurance, but it can take a while to get an appointment. For the first, out of pocket option, Dr. Lisa Seufert is pretty great, and she has other women psychiatrists in her office too.

__Magnesium & Tension Headaches__ "The Foundation for Better Health Care reports that tension headaches are related to migraine headaches. Both occur when electrical activity in the brain increases, causing a surge in the production of serotonin – a chemical in the brain needed to carry electrical impulses. The increase in serotonin causes the blood vessels to constrict. The serotonin then leaks out into the tissue surrounding the brain and when the blood vessels dilate the lack of serotonin irritates the nerves, causing your pain.” HTTP://WWW.LIVESTRONG.COM/ARTICLE/471919-MAGNESIUM-TENSION-HEADACHES/ __UP TO 50% OF US WITH MIGRAINES HAVE A MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY THAT CAN BE EASILY FIXED.__ “A magnesium deficiency may promote cortical spreading depression (the physical mechanism of aura and migraine in the brain), cause blood vessels to constrict, affect serotonin (a key molecule related to migraine), and influence a variety of neurotransmitters.” "This mineral is so important that it can be found in all of your tissues, but is most common in your bones, muscles, and brain. You need magnesium for your muscles to relax, and stress can drain magnesium from the body. Yet, most of us are not getting enough of this critical mineral from our food.” https://migraineagain.com/easy-fix-magnesium-deficiency-migraines/

Do you want a therapist or psychiatrist? Finding a psychiatrist can be tricky these days, as many insurances don't cover their services. But, i see a very good female therapist (LCSW) I can recommend.

Philmont Guidance Center in Chestnut Hill is the only place I know where the psychiatrists accept insurance. They also have in house therapy with many psychologists. My visits to both the psychiatrist and the psychologist are $20 a pop. I have been going to psychiatrists and therapists for about 10 years dealing with my family's addiction issues and dysfunction. Here's an overview of the psychiatric professional hierarchy: Psychiatrist- an MD. Like went to medical school and specialized in Psychiatry. Is the only mental health professional in this list who can prescribe medicine. Usually does not conduct therapy sessions, unless you are in an intensive recovery or treatment program (think Dr. Drew). Psychologist - a Ph.D. or Psy.D. Either way, has doctoral degree in psychology. Performs therapy. Cannot prescribe medicine. Can also be called a therapist. Social worker - licensed social workers who have their masters in social work counseling. Can be called a counselor or therapist. Cannot prescribe medicine. Can perform therapy. Many times these kinds of therapists run group meetings (Al-Anon, grief therapy, etc.) Please message me if you have any questions and I will find someone who can help you. Anti depressants are very helpful and can allow your brain the cognitive help if needs to process and work through your emotional and mental issues, but they are not long term solutions. Look into getting some Sam-E. It is sold as a vitamin here for menopausal women but is prescribed as an anti depressant in Europe. After years of Zoloft lexapro prozac abilify blah blah blah I got off all that stuff and now only take Sam E, magnesium and iron. Good luck.

I finally got to the bottom of the wait list for Dr. Tracy Jones. Took me nearly 6 months. I know that's too long, but if could be a good place holder if you have to settle for a shitty one in the meantime like I did. She has great reviews online.

Council for Relationships has sliding scale and I had a female therapist when I used their services.

Equilibria near old city has good therapists. Call them and describe to them what you're looking for

Psychiatrists don't usually do much more than prescribe, they don't care about your problems as much as your neurochemistry. There are waaaaaaay more female therapists.

You can use this link to sort through and find someone. Hope this helps! https://psychiatrists.psychologytoday.com/rms/?utm_source=PT_Psych_Today&utm_medium=House_Link&utm_campaign=PT_TopNavF_Psychiatrist

Jessica Plocher is good- she's young, in Center City and has always been very understanding of various issues. Also keep in mind any good psychiatrist can recommend you to *psychologists* in their network, if you need to talk through your issues as well as get meds, you're going to need both.

I second Mazzoni Center. Free with Medicaid, and they charge on a sliding scale otherwise based on income.

Northwest Human Services in Mt. Airy

Mazzoni Center is great. I worked there and can back it up there's a women's therapy services in downtown somewhere -you can google it... Also does sliding scale therapy. Idk about psychiatry services. They're better off at a larger non profit for that.

Angie Backues Petersen,

Holy Redeemer has a counseling center separate from the hospital. My aunt works there a couple nights a week, but that's all I know about it.

NAMI...the National Alliance for Mental Illness has state & county affiliates. They are a free advocacy organization for consumers & a good place to start when looking for supportive help. Just Google the branch nearest to where she lives.

Joe, there are only two ways to go, Doggie Downers or Puppy uppers. That all they can prescribe.
