I’ve been to a few professionals and I’ll probably go back periodically for regular check-ups. I’m not an expert in the types of approaches available, but try a simple google search for local ones in your area and see if their profile speaks to you. How do they present themselves? What kind of issues do they pride themselves on being able to tackle? What’s their research history or area of focus?

Practical considerations such as time, money, and even gender (some people feel more comfortable sharing with men, others with women) need to be taken into consideration.

If you’re willing, open, and think it might be possible, try out a few before committing to one and always be open, honest, and transparent about where you’re coming from.
