Please read the following before emailing me:
I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately, so I apologize if I don’t reply. It genuinely bums me out that I don’t have time to reply to everyone.
If your question resembles “what should I do?” I cannot provide clinical advice. I’m sorry about that. You should find a clinician (or other appropriate professional) to discuss that. You deserve proper help.
If you’re looking for a therapist or a supervisor, I’m terribly sorry, but my practice has been full for several years and I do not have a referral. You should contact your medical insurance or search online. You might have to try a few therapists before you find a good fit. If the podcast has inspired you to find a therapist, I might try a therapist who uses psychodynamic, attachment, interpersonal, relational, systemic, or humanistic methods.
You can also go to BetterHelp.com/KIRK for a discount on online therapy.
If you are experiencing a safety concern (e.g., child safety, stalking, violence), you should contact the appropriate authorities (e.g., police, child protective services). If you want help with domestic violence, The National Domestic Violence Hotline can help: thehotline.org. If you want help with suicide, The National Suicide Prevention Hotline can help: suicidepreventionlifeline.org.
If you email me regardless of the warnings listed, I might not be able to reply.

Communication with me here does not constitute or create a counselor-client relationship. Any email or information you provide here may be read and discussed online without identifying you by name. If you need professional help, contact a treatment provider or call 911 emergency services.
