saw yet another T. advice varies

D darockMember
i saw yet another T yesterday. she knows the T who was charging me an arm and a leg.
i told her i got clean off all substances working with that guy.
her response?
she told me to spend 25% of my income and go back to him. she thought it was foolish to think that i could find better treatment cheaper. her response was that if it was working, even if its expensive, it will be worth it in the end.

hmmmmm. i REALLY dont want to spend 1000 per month OUT OF POCKET for treatment.

Sorry. This must be confusing. It's good if your T can help you. But, I have found a very helpful T at a much lower price, personally. When we were paying out of pocket, it did end up being over $1,000 a month, but once we switched to insurance, it was much less. It doesn't seem like you have an intense attachment where it actually is extremely painful to leave this T, as you are OK looking around. Not that you WANT to leave him, but it doesn't feel like life or death if I'm understanding you correctly. I agree with what Cat said in your other thread and I think TN said the same. There are very many good Ts who don't charge quite so much or have generous sliding scales. If you keep at it, you might be able to find another who you feel you can work with. I happen to have gotten REALLY lucky that my H's T happened to be an excellent fit for me, but others here have tried multiple Ts before finding a good fit.

Get psychotherapy help to make your therapy easier and better.



Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
