> It seems like the really good therapists do not accept insurance and are very pricey. That's my experience where I live. The ones covered by my insurance seem to not want difficult cases and I would describe that as lazy.Personally I find it immoral and unethical to turn down people because their cases are to difficult.Those are the people that need help the most. Their lack of compassion and coldness in the face of suffering is appalling.I've had terrible experiences with therapists on my insurance plans. It's been a self correcting problem, though, since my insurance now disallows any psychiatric treatment (and a hollow LOL on that one indeed).
But I've been fortunate in finding a therapist in private practice whose fees are not unreasonable - those professionals ARE out there. It took me several tries to find my T, but it's a great fit and we are doing good work together.
My advice would be to not let the insurance company dictate the care that you receive - you might find that there are therapists out there who prefer to remain outside of the system and also have reasonable session rates.
Good luck,
