I figure this is a long shot, but: I'm looking for a therapist and possibly a relationship counselor. I'd like one who's in some way adjacent to the LW community. The idea is to have less inferential distance to cross when describing the shit that goes through my head. Finding someone with whom there isn't a large IQ gap is also a concern.

Can anyone give me a lead?

(also, the anonymous Username account appears to have had its password changed at some point. Hence this one.)

I can recommend Shannon Avana. Don't mind the horrible web page, she's great. Not the archetypal LW rationalist, but she is familiar with the community and culture. Very smart, too.

I remember a Shannon Friedman. Same person, new name?

(thanks for the disclaimer about the web page...it really is horrible)

Yes. She also used to have a nicer web page previously.

Is this some sort of counter-signaling then?

I would expect that LW readers are not the target group.
