Finding a therapist or mental health professional can feel overwhelming and challenging, especially when it comes to Selective Mutism. I want to give you a few resources to start your search. I also recommend reading this article to help your search. It explains the different types of therapists of mental health professionals and also how to find a therapist.
The Selective Mutism Association provides a list of treating professionals that work with children with SM. They also give advice on how to find one that is right for you or your family. Please note that I am not familiar with many of the professionals listed on this site, and therefore recommend that you do your research before beginning treatment. https://www.selectivemutism.org/find-help/find-a-treating-professional/ The National Register of Health Service Professionals also offers a database of verified psychologists across the United States. This website allows you to search by location, area of expertise, types of treatment, languages, and insurance. www.findapsychologist.org/ Psychology Today also provides a large directory of mental health professionals. They have therapists located in 20 different countries. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists Note: If you or someone you know is in an emergency/crisis situation please get help immediately. If the situation is life-threatening, call 911. In a mental health crisis, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK or use the Crisis Text Line.
