I have to switch providers because of insurance, and there is only one psychiatrist I am allowed to see now (I'm in a small town). In his yellow page ad, it says "Compassionate Christian Mental Healthcare." That's great....unless you're not Christian. I am basically Atheist. I respect everyone's beliefs, but I'm just afraid I may have religion shoved down my throat again.

I sent him an email (he has his email in the yellow page ad) to ask just how much religion gets into his practice. But even if he responds well....what would you think? Would someone who advertises his Christianity be able to treat an Atheist without religion getting in the way?

He will be doing medication management only, I'll see someone else for therapy. Although I'm sure there will be a little bit of talking.

I guess I have no choice since he's the only one in-network...I was just curious what you think.
