I’ve been on medication, prescribed by my primary care doctor. My therapist noticed my depression/anxiety remaining pretty high, and told me to talk to my doctor about it. My doctor increased my dosage, but also wants me to see a psychiatrist, who can better analyze my issues. He didn’t give me a referral, and said I can see anyone you want (preferably someone that takes my insurance). He did give a list of a few psychiatrists though.

I have been looking through my insurance’s website for a psychiatrist. I have also just been searching online. But, I don’t know which one to select. What criteria should I look out for? Are online reviews reliable?

Any advice would be appreciated.
