Hi, I just created this account as I wanted to post here without getting banned from other subs 🙄. I have been quietly reading here for a while and it really makes me feel calmer hearing everyone’s responses and I guess just knowing there are other people who feel this way, and I’m not a total weirdo lol. Anyway I do have a question:

I want to start seeing a therapist and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to find one that would be supportive of me wanting a male-led relationship. There are other things I want to discuss of course, but since that is an important goal of mine, and I feel that it is necessary for my happiness, it could be a waste of time to start working with someone who is against this fundamental goal of mine. On the other hand, since it’s rather a niche issue, it may be a waste of time to hold out for someone who aligns on this one issue, when they could be helpful in other areas, such as self-esteem, creating goals, and improving relationships.

Any advice would be appreciated as I’m finding it hard to take the first steps and make an appointment. I’m in the US and I have good insurance and the ability to pay out of pocket, so that part isn’t a concern, which I am truly grateful for.

Edit: Thank you all for your advice. I just tried responding to your comments but my account is too new and everything was auto-deleted, oops!!
