If you're interested in exploring the possibility of professional divorce counseling, a number of resources recommended here will help you locate and review therapists.

Your health insurance company's Web site probably hosts a list of doctors, by category. The findingDulcinea Health Web Guide also provides some resources for health insurance that may be of use to you.
- Searching online provides you with a degree of anonymity, but if you're comfortable asking your friends, family members, or general internists for recommendations, they can often be a valuable and trustworthy resource.
