Psyc recomendations???

I've had my initial psy visit with doc recommended by surgeon. I've gotten approval there.  I'm having some depression, anxiety both surrounding this pending surgery and also some other aspects of my life and I'm feeling the need for some needed guidance.  I don't want to go on a 3 hr drive just for a psy visit.  Can someone recommend a good doc/counselor in the tri-cities area.  I'm willing to drive more than a hour, so anywhere there would be great.   The psch I seen in Omaha did say there was a new doc in GI that was doing some Baratric things with the Doctor in GI that does surgery but she didn't know her name. Anyone know of her or of anyone else in the Central NE Area??  Thanks!   I go for my first pre-op visit tomorrow, surgery soon to be scheduled.

Hi, I don't know of anyone in your area. Just be sure they are psychologist or psychiatrist. It won't count if it is a mental health therapist. Good luck. Mona

Thanks but I've already had my initial psych consult and "passed" so to say by the Psychologist recommended by the doc.  I'm just looking  for someone for support and guidance as I complete this journey for ongoing use.  I'm ok if it's a mental health therapist.  I don't need it for insurance reasons.  I had my first pre-op visit at the docs today.  I need a sleep study done which is scheduled for Tuesday the 7th.  They drew blood work today to check sugar levels as my family has long history of diabetic issues.  As long as those two are okay,  I'm good to go to schedule surgery!!
