My son has had to take a health leave of absence from college for a second time because of psychological symptoms of Lyme and co-infections. He basically has no motivation or energy. I'm going to take him to Dr. B in Red Bank, but can someone recommend a counselor (MSW, PhD., or LSW) for him to see in either North or Central New Jersey? Someone who gets all the strange mental problems Lyme and Co. can cause? He's a very timid 20-year-old. THANKS!(I also posted this in the looking for doctors section)

Dr. S. is a Lyme-literate psychiatrist who has had firsthand experience with Lyme.
Click on "E-mail me" in the upper right-hand corner of her webpage and ask her for help or if she can refer you to someone.

If you go to Vitals.com, it says that she is retired.
Someone posted this on LymeNet recently also, so that's 2 sources saying it.

I typically do not post much at all but saw your posting.
There is a Dr. C in Morris County.
She is a Ph.D. Clinical Psychology/LPC and specializes in the psychological aspects of chronic/terminal medical oriented issues. I know she is Lyme Literate (I believe she had a chronic case herself) and could probably call her a LLPHD.
If Morris County is within your wheelhouse then shoot me an PM and I can share her contact info.
