i found [Psychology Today](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us) to be very helpful in my search. there are a lot of filters to help find a suitable match. my primary care doctor also helped with meds. Best wishes to you.

Try the URMC Mental Health Center. I believe they accept medicaid. I don't think they're seeing patients in person now, it's all on video calls. EDIT: here's a link to help you get started if you're interested. Good luck and hope things get better for you. HUGS!! ☺️ https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/mental-health-wellness.aspx

I'd you have trouble finding a psychiatrist, Primary Care can prescribe you medication! Be well, my friend!

Check out catholic family center in the building next to the transit center on Clinton. I go to therapy and get my meds there. DM me if you want a number or more info.

St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center on South Ave can help, or refer you to help. It will be affordable for you, or free. https://www.sjncenter.org/

Look into the PlushCare app, you can meet with a doc via telemedicine within the hour and get prescribed same day

I second using psychology today’s website. It has very specific search features. I had to book out about a month though in order to see who I wanted. I was okay to wait that long. If you aren’t, that’s okay too. There’s walk in clinics mharochester.org If you are feeling like hurting yourself (or actually mentally unstable/loss of motivation to live) I suggest strong hospital psychiatric ward. They are AMAZING and will have a team of professionals meet with you to help figure out your meds.

Alexandra Fotiou is in Brighton/city area and has evening appointments, if that's needed.

Don't know how far you are looking to go, but I used to see Dr Munsen (sp?) in penfield.

Have you checked HealthGrades or the Psychology Today listings? I have no idea how much to trust the doctor ratings on HG, but it's helpful to at least narrow down choices. You might also look for a psychiatric nurse practitioner -- they can prescribe and do medication management. The other day someone recommended Yolanda DeCamilia, 750-0745, to me.

Also, I heard [Penfield Psychiatry](http://penfieldpsych.com) is good and they have an MD and NPs.

Dr. Thomas Letourneau, he is in Fairport. Awesome with getting the correct meds. Good luck.

Dont go to brad landsman. Cheryl Tisler helped me through some horrible anxiety, and we just terminated. She even ordered blood tests to see if vitamins could help me. She's great!

I went to a guy on Alexander, I think his name was Seth Parker. I was too wrapped up in anxiety to fix anything with him but I think it was me more than him. Wherever you go I wish you all the success. Panic attacks and anxiety are so terrible.

I should introduce you to my neighbor who is all about recovery and she knows lots of resources.. Feel like doing a short documentary on living w anxiety?

Cheryl Turco 880-7800. She is in Penfield and she works on a sliding scale. Which is you pay her what you can at each visit. Last I knew she is open Thur and sat every other week because she also works at Crestwood children center. I haven't seen her...See More

@linden oaks... Dr Lori costa- mitrano. AMAZING SHE IS

There are many out pt mental health centers that will actually assist u with wat they consider a sliding scale fee based on ur income but u really should b applying for insurance...if ur making less than 15,000 a year u should b Medicaid eligible...apply for the affordable care act...nysofhealth.gov..I hope this helps...lmk if u need resources for MH therapist..

Not often discussed advice: choose one that specializes in your issues. Not every therapist does the same thing. Do you mind me asking what general issues are you looking to work out?

Do you need a therapist who takes insurance? We have lots (myself included, but not the insurance part, I'm private pay only). The easiest way to find someone is psychologytoday.com.

Chris Toner is wonderful!

Lori Nardone:)

Amy Locastro McGhan, pat Mcghans wife!

Annmarie Torres-Weathers trust me she is worth it. Best massage ever and I've been places lol. She can also come to you. So you don't have to drive were she at.
