One-on-One Support

One person can make a difference

Some people may not feel comfortable talking about their feelings or hardships in a group. If that describes you, or if you have any signs of depression (feeling hopeless, worthless, guilty, or like "giving up"), it may be important to get help from a counseling professional. There are many types of counselors to turn to, depending on your needs and what feels the most comfortable for you. Options include:

  • Psychologist
  • Social worker
  • Psychiatrist
  • Sex therapist
  • Spiritual advisor

The same people can help a family member or loved one who is struggling to deal with your condition.

Psychologist
A specialist who can talk with patients and their families about emotional and personal matters, and can help them make decisions.
Psychiatrist
A medical doctor who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders.
