| I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and assistant Director of a community mental Health Center in Indiana.  I've been practicing since 1977.  I would recommend that you see either an LCSW or a PH.D psychologist.  Ususally these two professions have more standardized training and licensing regulations.  Make sure that the therapist is licensed and I would suggest that you ask for a referral from your onc.  Surely you onc makes referrals to therapists on a regular basis.  I think you'd be surprised how many people in our situation need professional help to get us through this emotionally.  If you want to reply to me privately and let me know where you are located, I'll try to do a little research and help you locate a therapist.  Good luck. BERTA |
