Psychiat-List Now Up

Scott Alexander introduces the 'Psychiat-List', a crowd-sourced list of recommended mental health professionals for the rationalist community. Longer summary
Scott Alexander has created a list of mental health professionals recommended by members of the rationalist community, called the 'Psychiat-List'. The list is currently short and mostly focused on the Bay Area, but Scott is seeking crowd-sourced recommendations to expand it to more providers and cities. He encourages readers to provide additional recommendations, especially for cities likely to have many SSC readers, and to share experiences with professionals already on the list. Shorter summary

Lots of people have asked me to recommend them a psychiatrist or therapist. I’ve done a terrible job responding: it’s a conflict of interest to recommend my own group, and I don’t know many people outside of it.

So now I’ve put together a list (by which I mostly mean blatantly copied a similar list made by fellow community member Anisha M) of mental health professionals whom members of the rationalist community have had good experiences with. So far it’s short and mostly limited to the Bay Area. You can find it at the “Psychiat-List” button on the top of the blog, or at this link.

My hope is to crowd-source additional recommendations to expand the list to more providers and cities. Please let me know, either on this post or on the comments to the list itself, if you have any extra recommendations to add – especially if you’re in a city likely to have many other SSC readers. Please also let me know if you’ve had any positive or negative experiences with people already on the list, so I can change their status accordingly.
