[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 408749, member: 1233"] I am so glad you found someone that seems like he gets it and can help!!! Push him to take a sliding scale fee or to get approved on your insurance. If there is no one in your area who can take her as a patient the ins co MUST add someone who can. we went through this with our insurance at one point. none of their providers specialized in children in a 60 mile radius from us, so they had to take someone else on. He will have to agree to their negotiated rate and submit treatment plans, but it IS possible. Esp if you have called their providers. If you do not have a provider list call the ins co and amke them send one. It may be online though and that is often more up to date. It won't be easy and 4 months is pretty optimistic, in my opinion. I don't know if he realizes how stubborn she can be. He sure does sound like exactly what you need. Does he know anything about exposure therapy specifically? It is the best way to handle phobias. It isn't fun to have the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) yourself but it does give you a leg up in helping her - you get what she feels and are at least as stubborn. I am glad he agrees about school - she truly isn't in shape for school and making her go would send her back to before square one most likely. (((((hugs))))) I am so thrilled you have found osmeone who may be able to help. [/QUOTE]
