I would think you should see whoever makes you comfortable. My therapist (who also happens to be lesbian) felt because of my history of abuse I would be more comfortable with a woman shrink. While I could see her point, my male pdoc is a warm and compassionate individual- qualities that are more important to me then gender. Let us know how it works out- judy
P.S. another thing that is interesting, it turns out both my shrink and therapist have a history of a mental disorder (which is probably why they went into the field), but I feel allows them to understand me better. I wonder how many mental health workers have this kind of history.
