If you want a CBT therapist, I would start with your insurance company's website. Generally they have databases that let you search by specialty.
Find 20 or so, call and ask if they are taking new patients. Talk to the 7 or 8 who call back on the phone. If you like their phone manner, make an appointment with 3 or 4.That's how I found my psychiatrist (also my T) and my DBT therapist.
I wouldn't even bother with a referral from your current T. T's work alone. They don't do referral networks the way primary care docs do. It's likely she has few names and no way of telling if you would hit it off with those few names. Insurance companies are the best way to go.
