A member of the community is looking for a reference for a psychiatrist in the Palo Alto area. I checked for other topics to post this in that allowed responding via notes, but I couldn't find any other that seemed applicable. Mez ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm moving to Palo Alto around the 1st of the new year. One of the big items on my list of things to do is to find a replacement for my shrink. This is probably also the hardest thing I'll have to do. So I thought that before I start picking names out of the phone book, I'd see if I could find some points of contact from people. If you know of someone, or someone who might know someone, please let me know. I'm looking for a psychiatrist who is skilled in dealing with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, someone who could do maintenance on my drugs (lithium and imipramine) and who is someone I can trust (nothing like putting the most important quality last.) Someone who runs a survivors' group would be a good contact for me. Or a therapist who is associated with a psychiatrist, etc. Given where I'm at with my current shrink, this is probably going to be one of the hardest parts of the move for me. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated, either posted here or mailed to me via Mez. thanks cautiously_anonymous

| 891.1 | perhaps an EAP referral | WR2FOR::OLSON_DO | Mon Dec 11 1989 14:12 | 10 | |
I recognize that this may not be the anonymous basenoter's preferred
path, but I believe the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) may be able
to assist with such referrals. The Santa Clara facilities phone book
has these three entries for EAP-
EAP- 800-624-6185
EAP- Santa Clara/Sunnyvale- 408-988-3535
EAP- Palo Alto/Mountain View- 415-965-7999

You might want to try the PSYCHOLOGY notesfile at TERZA::PSYCHOLOGY.
You can find the moderators in the file by typing "show moderator",
and then ask them to post the request anonymously for you....

| 891.5 | You might try the local ISA office | RCA::PURMAL | Rhymes with thermal, and thats cool! | Fri Dec 15 1989 10:55 | 10 |
The number for Incest Survivors Annonymous in the (415) area code is
(415) 359-2070. The phone book lists that number to be located in
Pacifica. I know from things I've heard from other people that there
are meetings here in the San Jose area though.

P.S. You could have Mez post your note in WCSM::SILICON_VALLEY to see
if any of the local readers can help you. THEBAY::SAN_FRANCISCO
may also be a good place to ask too.
