Please make an appointment with a local psychologist to address your issues. If you're insured through your work, check the back of your medical card to see if you have an 800 number for mental health benefits. If uninsured, call your local county mental health hotline and ask for no cost counseling resources.

Yes, a psychologist would understand the causes of “panic attacks” which fall under anxiety disorders. However, you would be best served by doing some simple research when looking for a therapist to help you. Most health insurance policies have a telephone number which specifically puts you in contact with their mental health line. When you call this number give your identifying policy information and ask for a psychologist who specifically specializes in anxiety disorders. You might also specify you are also looking for a therapist who works specifically with children or young adults. Remember, most anxiety disorders are manageable with time and the appropriate treatment.

All the best.

Many people suffer from some form of social anxiety. Thankfully, this can be a very treatable disorder. I would recommend seeking out a mental health practitioner (e.g., a psychologist) who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of this type of disorder.

You might start by checking with your medical carrier. Many have a dedicated telephone number specifically for mental health, whereby, you could request a referral to a therapist who specializes in this is order.

I would recommend starting with a visit to your primary care practitioner and discussing your feelings with him/her. They would be best to point you in the right direction depending on the type of depression you are experiencing. There are many types of depression and letting your primary care provider know would be a sound place to start in addressing your concerns.

All the best!

You need to ask your therapist about this question. He or she is the primary therapist and is aware of the issues at hand and how best to address to them. Best.
