Counseling/Therapists in Bakersfield, CA

-Valley Psychological Group (Truxtun) -Advanced Medical Psychiatric (Calloway) -CSUB counselor training clinic. They are advanced graduate clinicians supervised by a licensed Marriage and family therapist. I mention this one because it is low cost -even free if you don’t have money - I found this very helpful when I was in between jobs. You can also call your insurance or check their website to get a list of providers and call around and just flat out ask. Don’t hesitate to change to a new one if you’re not 100% comfortable with someone. Hope this helps. Have a good day and Good luck!

if you've recently got a job, check with your HR department regarding the Employee Assistance Program. EAP offers free sessions of therapy/counseling a year. Valley Psychological Group off of Truxtun and S st. is a wonderful place for you. Wishing you the best

If you’re getting to a point that you feel unsafe, you can always go to Mary K. She’ll, 24/7.

I used to see one who worked out of the Ming Office Park, but I would recommend that if you aren't comfortable with the first one you try, just move on and find another. It will be important that you find one that you're able to talk to openly.

Will your new job have insurance? I had Kaiser and they have mental health services, you just pay your normal copay like a doctor's visit. Someone else mentioned CSUB, which I've also always heard great things about. Take care of yourself and be well!

Psychiatric wellness center has therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists. They are amazing I would look them up.

Check out the behavioral center of Omni family health.

I don't know of any but I'm sure there are some good ones. Hope someone responds with a reference for you!

An RT friend of mine and I just got up here last week. Furnished housing is a bitch to find. I don’t even know how many combined hours we spent calling and emailing people. What can you spend on housing? We ended up 3 k month to month in Newark with a washer and dryer in unit and the realtor (who has been nothing but awesome) furnished it for us once we committed to the lease.

With everything going on there I’d recommend not uprooting and just saving yourself exposure, but I’m sure you’ve considered that. At this point you may be able to find an air bnb that will be interested in a longer rent as many people aren’t visiting.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is exactly an “obscene amount of money?” I heard NYC was offering 10 k/week....but is that really worth it when you don’t know if you have enough PPE?

Too good to pass up? Unless yall get sick. Theyres a reason the amount is obsene!!! That being said, see if any other travelers ur husband knows are going up there.

I’d recommend looking for an AirBnB, some homes have a promotion going on for health care workers where prices are reduced! Also, some hotels are doing free stays for a week at a time, you can find the link on the AARC website!

Maybe you meant 30 miles W of Newark? 30 miles east is NY, either NYC or even on the opposite side of it in Long Island...

I found my place on [furnishedfinder.com](https://furnishedfinder.com) It's specifically for traveling healthcare professionals needing a temporary place for their contract! Hope this helps

Is he doing it through Faststaff? Because they said they were providing housing worth he contract on top of the money?

Call Irene Valos, MFT. ‭(661) 325-3220‬

Dr. Helen Armistead

What college are you going to?

Nina Manny is great, I went through I think 4 sessions with her and it really helped. Here's her website: http://ninamanny.com/NinaManny.com/Home.html

I'm actually more shocked that therapists would push their religion on patients. It seems pretty unethical to me. Maybe it's just frowned upon.

Joseph Lancaster. He's a little bit of a hippy but he's great. A very down to earth dude, but also a professional, who isn't afraid to call you on your bullshit (or say the word "bullshit" for that matter. I found it refreshing).

I’m an atheist psychiatrist :) Still in training though, can’t do therapy yet :( Hope you find what you need. Just so you know, there’s a lot of us out there.

Not atheist, but Sunny Mueller was my supervisor when I worked for the county. She is smart, kind, and not churchy. She does private therapy. https://sunnymmueller.com/
