Definitely ask for recommendations, but don't be surprised if you don't like them. One therapist might be great for some people, but may not work for you. It doesn't mean they're not good at what they do, or they're not good for those people, it just means it's not a good fit for you.
It seems like you need a therapist who is willing to deviate from their usual ways, if necessary. Maybe start off with a few eclectic therapists, if possible, or at least ones that aren't strictly bound to any one orientation.
Other than that, I can only recommend a few websites that I know of: psychologytoday.com, nddb.net, ratemds.com
Can you call Anne for advice?
I know it's hard. I wish I had some magic words, but I completely lucked into my therapist.
Good luck.
