Therapy in the office is not the only way that people can help themselves feel better. There are a lot of community services and self-help groups as well as self-help websites and books available to persons who for various reasons decide not to work with a therapist. Here are a few links to websites of organizations that I review regularly and believe that they offer quality information:
