Phillipa,
My new T was recommended me by my ex-T and my pdoc.Yes, we all live in the same town, so that helps.
Do you see any doctors locally? Perhaps a woman-care doctor may have a recommendation, or your GP or other specialist. If they don't know, then you might want to find a mental health practice in your area that has several therapists, and maybe they can do a consultation with you to find the best match for your life and your situation. If you are close to your minister, you could request a private meeting with him/her, and ask for a recommendation. Also, your pdoc may have colleagues in your area that can help you out- have you ever asked?
Insurance... kind of tricky. I will only get a limited number of sessions with my insurance, and I have a pretty high co-pay. Then I have to figure out how to do the insurance with my husband's insurance provider. yuck. paperwork.
Basically, if you are on disability, it seems to me that you could negotiate with a T for a sliding scale. I don't know the particulars of your insurance situation, but no matter what, therapy is going to involve some kind of financial arrangements.
I'm going to have to bring my lunch everyday and limit my cafe visits to twice a week :( I have also quit PT for the time being, which is fine, b/c it was triggering me anyways, and I wasn't making much progress. so those changes will probably save me about 80-100 dollars a week.
Oh well...
good luck Phillipa,
-Li
