So, I called around today and tried to set up an appointment with a psychologist that was covered by my insurance. Most I called were not accepting new patients. One I called was in a building with other mental health professonals and said if I made an appointment with a T, that I also needed to make one with one of their pdocs. I found this a little weird, as I already have a pdoc I am comfortable with. Then one of the ones I left a message for called me back and we talked for a little bit, she could get me in on Tuesday (the weird place couldn't get me in until next Friday....and all the others had nothing for new patients).

She seems nice on the phone. When I briefly mentioned my problems, she said something about the possibility of cognitive behavior therapy or something like that. What is that?

I'm nervous about seeing someone. She's has PsyD, so she is a psychologist (the weird place wanted to set me up with a LMHC). What can I expect for a first appointment?
