Mental Health Resources
We hope that this list of resources will be of benefit to you if you  experience any emotional or psychological difficulty after answering any of our study questions.

Finding a Therapist

Here is a list of counselors and therapists curated by meditation teacher, Sean Feit Oakes: https://www.seanfeitoakes.com/resources-healing-practice/counselors-therapists/. 

​
You might also try Psychology Today—a website that allows you to search for mental health providers in your area. This site allows you to search by specialty (e.g., there are specialists in anxiety, grief, depression) and by demographics so that you may also choose a mental health resource of your preferred gender, ethnicity, etc. Many insurance providers can also help you locate specialists within your health insurance networks that meet these same specifications. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us to let us know if you need help locating additional supports.
