Referral to a therapist in the Bay Area who speaks Bengali. A dear friend passed away suddenly this week and her niece is here in the states. I'm trying to find a therapist she can speak with in Bengali. If you have any referrals, please send them my way. She is in the East Bay, but we can get her anywhere in the area. Thank you - Julie Silas (jlsilas@sbcglobal.net).
