587.0. "Seeking a counselor in the Marlboro area" by QUARK::HR_MODERATOR () Mon Sep 26 1988 13:59

I've recently ended a relationship with someone for whom I cared very deeply.
I realize we do not belong together, but I'm in pain.  I realize that if I 
don't get therapy I may not be strong enough to get over him.  I am currently
seeing a psychologist in Marlboro, but I cannot continue to see him, as the
man I was involved with is seeking his help.

I didn't want to just pick up the phone book and randomly select a name.
I'd like to find someone on the recommendation of someone in this file.
The only requirement is that this person have an office in the immediate
Marlboro area.

Any input provided would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

587.1	Consult EAP	QUARK::LIONEL	Ad Astra	`Mon Sep 26 1988 14:05`	11
	My suggestion is that you first contact your facility's local EAP (Employee Assistance Program) counselor, through Health Services. This is completely confidential and free. The counselor will meet with you as necessary, and if you want, make recommendations for private counselors in the area. I have used EAP in this manner, and can vouch for it. And I applaud your decision to seek help - that is the first step towards recovery. Steve
587.2	Additional recommendations sought	QUARK::LIONEL	Ad Astra	`Mon Sep 26 1988 14:28`	6
	I have learned that the author of the base note is aware of EAP, and is looking for additional personal recommendations in the Marlboro area. If you wish to communicate them privately, please do so by mail to QUARK::HR_MODERATOR (which is me). Steve

	> I am currently > seeing a psychologist in Marlboro, but I cannot continue to see him, as the > man I was involved with is seeking his help. It may not be necessary to change. Have you talked about this with your current psychologist first? He is bound by confidentiality not to ever say anything to your man that you discuss with him. If after your discussions with the psychologist you decide to change, then your current psychologist should be able to recommend suitible to you. Good Luck.
