You can apply for psychological help to medical institutions or specialized counseling centers. In Europe, providing psychological assistance to a person is a common thing. Moreover, in the United States, almost every married couple has their own psychologist, whom they often turn to for advice, whether it be disagreements with children, conflicts with relatives or misunderstandings among spouses.
Instructions
Step 1
In Russia, people are less likely to seek help and advice from a psychologist than abroad. Perhaps this is due to the mentality of the inhabitants. It is easier for a Russian to complain about the life of a friend, and, what is most dangerous, he often follows incompetent advice, which further aggravates the state of affairs. If you are not happy with the approach of a new day, you are tormented by an insoluble question that prevents you from living fully and simply give up, then it’s time to turn, finally, for help to a real professional. The easiest way is to find in the telephone directory the number of the medical center where psychological counseling is provided. Make an appointment. Most likely, you will be asked what kind of consultation you need - it can be a family conflict, the loss of a loved one, or a fear of something. In accordance with the information received, a highly specialized psychologist will be selected for you, thanks to which the consultation will become more effective.
Step 2
The Internet will help you find a good psychologist. Visit thematic forums, blogs, psychological sites. For example, in the "reviews" section, you can read the comments of people who have already asked for help from one or another psychologist. You should not blindly believe every review, but you can draw up a general opinion for yourself on a specific specialist. On the websites of psychological centers, leave an online application with a callback request. They will call you back and make an appointment with a psychologist.
Step 3
Free psychological assistance over the phone is becoming more and more popular. As part of social support for citizens of Russia in 2009, the law "On psychological assistance to the population in the city of Moscow" was adopted. A three-digit number - 051 was created in Moscow, by which one can receive qualified psychological assistance anonymously and at any time of the day. Such free hotlines for psychological help exist in many cities of Russia, their numbers can be found in local city administrations, telephone directories, or in local newspapers with a heading on psychology.
