Nice, noodle! That's really impressive. Are you going the PhD at home route, like National University, or are you actually attending a school physically? After I graduated, I intended to go back periodically to school, but I have such trouble finding time.
As for choosing a psychologist, never, ever see people who aren't licensed. When you first call to schedule an appointment, remember to inquire as to the degree the professional holds. If there's no 'counseling' or 'psychology' in the degree, go another route. I've found a few counselors that only have religious degrees practicing and they're not going to provide you with the same level of quality as someone properly educated. If during the initial session you find that you're uncomfortable at all, don't be afraid to ask for a referral. The first session is as much an evaluation of the counselor as you, and if you're uncomfortable, it's going to make the process more difficult and likely longer.
Otherwise, as is said above, ask people for recommendations.
