What city do you live in? Maybe if you share that some people here could give you a good therapist referral - and the therapist can give you suggestions for a psychiatrist to perhaps try some medication in addition to counseling.

I would recommend Person-centered therapy (Carl Rogers). It's a very human and soft approach.

I think finding a good person is more important than modalities - and is often the trickiest part of the process. Which is (ironically) especially difficult for the depressed.

Yes it is. I've met many people before finding someone that I can trust a bit.

Carl Rogers was an interesting guy and he had a scientific approach (as I like understand how things work). It's a model that fit well to my mind.

I guess all models have nearly the same success rate.
