Greetings and welcome back. Those nicks sound familiar.

If you see a name in the yellow pages you could always google and see
if anything positive (such as that he authored an interesting article)
or negative (such as a malpractice suit) pops up. I'm not quite sure
the best way to go about that.

The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation has
a "Find a Therapist" option:

http://www.isst-d.org/

I have no idea how good or bad that could be, but presumably anybody
on the list would know at least something about dissociation.

Good luck with your search. It is scary not knowing where to turn for
help.
