Article: If you choose to pay through insurance, call your insurance company and ask for a list of providers. Some insurance companies offer a full list of providers in your area online. Don't just look at the top three choices, look the list over extensively. Then, ask friends or family if they know of anyone on the list that they recommend. Make a decision whether you prefer to pay through insurance or out of pocket before beginning counseling. Accepted forms of payment will vary among counselors. Assess whether education level matters to you and whether you think it will affect your counseling experience. Many professionals are qualified to offer counseling services, and it can be a little confusing to decipher different titles in mental health. Some providers hold a doctorate (such as Ph.D. and Psy.D.), meaning they received extensive schooling (five+ years) in mental health and most likely conducted in research. Other professionals hold a Master's degree (like licensed social workers, licensed professional counselors, and marriage and family therapists), who typically receive two to three years of post-university education. Some psychiatrists (medical doctors) also offer counseling, although they are trained specifically to manage medications. If you are seeking help for substance abuse, then you can see a substance abuse counselor. They may not hold a degree, but they have gone through training and are qualified to offer counseling. All of the above are qualified to offer counseling if they offer it. Make sure the counselor is licensed within the state which you live, and that they are in good standing with the state regulatory board. You can also check for complaints against the counselor through the state regulatory board, which differs by state and can be found online through a search engine. Ask your friends and family if they've had a good experience with a counselor. Ask your general practitioner or family doctor for recommendations. If you're moving to a new city, ask your current counselor for referrals, or have her check with colleagues Call a large clinic and ask the receptionist for recommendations based on what you're seeking. Receptionists know their counselors well and can match you with a counselor. They also know what insurance each counselor takes, and can tell you whether sessions would be covered by insurance. If you are a student, many colleges and universities offer counseling to students for free. Ask your university healthcare provider to refer you to a counselor, or go to the mental health center at your college to inquire about obtaining counseling.

Tea that includes herbs that have been shown to relieve headaches are often better at this, although you don't get as much of the herb from drinking a tea as you would from taking a supplement. Teas that might help headaches include: Green tea Peppermint tea Ginger tea Chamomile tea Feverfew tea Feverfew supplements are available anywhere you normally buy herbal supplements, and come in capsules, tablets, or liquid extracts. Generally, you can take 100 to 300 mg of feverfew up to 4 times a day. Because commercial feverfew products aren't standardized and often contain other ingredients, such as melatonin, specific dosage recommendations aren't possible. Discuss the supplement with your doctor and read the dosage instructions on the bottle carefully. Don't take feverfew if you are allergic to chamomile, ragweed, or yarrow. If you take feverfew regularly, taper off with smaller doses before you stop taking it completely. Otherwise, you could suffer rebound headaches, as well as anxiety, fatigue, muscle stiffness, and joint pain.
