[QUOTE="Lordofmylife05, post: 254991, member: 7032"] Hi Daisy! I should have clarified...his insurance covers 30% of mental health services. At the time I chose the therapist, the one who was approved under his insurance was booked for TWO YEARS. *sigh* So I opted to go with another therapist - a Christian counselor - and she was charging $100 per session!!! She said it would only take a few sessions for her to make a determination. Well, NINE sessions later, and she finally came up with a diagnosis. She did agree to take $50 per session going forward, but that's still $200 per month and she is not a preferred provider on his insurance. I've looked into other therapists who would be covered, but so many in this area (Pasadena, CA) are either booked for years, not taking new patients, etc. and I figured it was because if the therapist was covered under insurance, they would be booked up for longer periods. So I agreed to the $50 per week, but being a single mother, I have still been amazed at where that extra money came from every month. I emailed the therapist and asked if we could come in bi-monthly...but perhaps I made her mad??? I still haven't heard back from her. I am at my wit's end right about now....and I really need some ideas as to how to handle all this. I am going to look into other counselors...thanks for the welcome. It helps just knowing I"m not alone. :( Kerri [/QUOTE]
