Hi All~

I am looking for an Psychologist (PsyD) in Northern Vermont.

I was tested (Igenex) and diagnosed with Lyme & Bartonella in July of 2016.

I believe I have had this since August 2014, possibly longer as I have pretty bad neurological symptoms.

I have been in treatment since July 2016 by a natropathic physician who is wonderful.

After contacting an attorney about pursuing disability I was told that I needed a "well respected psychologist", someone who is not "out on a limb" (his words not mine) to have any chance of getting disability.

The attorney said I needed this to "rule out depression".

Does anyone have any leads on a psychologist who believes in a holistic approach and would also be "well respected" in the eyes of Social Security?

~Much Thanks In Advance~

Check the VT online state Lyme groups at:

Maybe they can help. They would know better about VT.
