Hi winsome,
If your therapist is willing to take private pay (and you can afford it) I would take him up on his offer.
Did he say what job he accepted? Also, if you met in person, where would you see him? These are questions that I would ask my therapist if she announced she's taken a different job,but would still see me.
I'm with you on the trust issue, it took me years to trust my therapist and I still only trust her to a point. It seems that your therapist feels that seeing a new therapist would be harder for you than his other patients. I don't think he's in it for the money or he would have dealt with insurance. My therapist told me that she likes my insurance because it pays more than others (when the coverage runs out I pay out of pocket on a sliding scale which is much less than the insurance pays).
Let us know what happens.
