Recommend a psychotherapist?

[nospamat.livejournal.com]

Hey Squares,

I wanna go to therapy like all my friends do! I dread the prospect of calling some guy from a flier at the Harvest Co-op or picked at random from the phone book, yet that's the prospect I face if I can't get a reference. Can one of you recommend a therapist?

Qualifications:

• Not too judgmental, not too permissive. Wouldn't call me a pussy, as my former therapist was inclined to do; wouldn't use or tolerate terms like "verbal rape".


• Speaks English natively, or like a native.


• Preferably male.


• Practices in the Cambville/Somerbridge area, or in some place T-accessible therefrom.


• Accepts insurance.

I'm a 23-year old male.

Post Office

My girlfriend told me the Post Office in Davis Square has closed due to the building being condemned. Anyone have more information on this?

It's like a wish I didn't know I had was granted...

In the January issue of Boston Magazine, way in the back (on page 134), in a little section called "Table Talk," there's a three-paragraph blurb about Pho Republique's Jack Bardy and his newest venture, a "funky, hip authentic Asian restaurant" and bar which will be called the Kowtow Lounge. It will serve dim sum, Vietnamese appetizers, and "Asian beers and tropical cocktails including mai tais, Saigon slings and lychee martinis."

That in itself is cool enough. But it's opening later this winter in the Porter Exchange Mall! It's going into the space that's housed, since mid-2000, first a Cottonwood Grill, then Métro and, most recently, Giuseppe's, which closed sometime this summer. It's about time the Porter Exchange got an Asian-themed bar! Because that's what it really needed to go in that space. It's an Asian mall, more or less, it needed an Asian bar...not a French bistro.

I post this here (in slightly different form than in my journal), because I discovered Giuseppe's through this community, and I thought those of you who recommended that place would be interested in the latest incarnation.
