While NAMI does not provide a list of mental health care professionals or treatment facilities, we do offer a fact sheet called Mental Health Professionals: Who they are and How to find one. You might also contact your Local NAMI Affiliate for information. Sometimes, the best word-of-mouth recommendations come from others in our groups that have found a good local doctor. Often times, one may find specialists in a certain field by contacting the psychiatry department at local teaching hospitals, where they are often on the cutting edge of research. Your American Psychiatric Association (APA) local branch may have a list of doctors listed by specialties as well.
