How do I find my therapist

Post date: 2020-02-17 23:05:31

I'm feeling rather tired of adulting and would really like to talk to someone professional about it. I can afford it, so why not, right? But what kind of therapist do I want and how do I find them?

There's really nothing objectively wrong in my life. I have a lovely, supportive husband, two lively children, helpful parents and in-laws and a job that is sometimes stressful but comes with nice coworkers and supportive superiors.
That said, I brought my daughter to kindergarten this morning and was so envious I could have cried. I wished I could have stayed there where people make sure I get healthy lunches and naps and give me low key crafts to do and the only expectation is "we don't hit people."

There's just not enough sleep and regular food and excercise, too much exhaustion, life maintenance crap, procrastination and entirely avoidable stress in my life.

I kind of feel guilty about taking this too seriously (I'm allowed to, right?) but I would really like to TALK to someone who's heard it all and will just let me talk it out and figure out how to not feel that way so much in future.

So what am I looking for? And how do I find this person?

I had therapy in my teens for bad stuff but don't really want to try and find that person again. My husband had therapy but I really don't want the same therapist (maybe she can recommend someone?)
I'm not in the US and there is a bit of a stigma, so I don't exactly just want to ask friends.

Thanks!
