Warning: rant ahead!

I was seeing a pdoc who also did therapy. The story with that one was a lot like SunAngel, I felt like she was only in it for the money. Especially because when I said that I wasn't sure I could continue with her (because she's out of network and I get diddly squat for reimbursement) she would just tell me how everyone else that works at the university manages it and if you call the insurance company sometimes they will permit it. We actually had that conversation more than once - what a huge waste of time, since she basically wasn't worth the effort to contact my insurance!

She also spent a lot of time trying to tell me that my bipolar symptoms were normal, jumped to a snap conclusion that I'm borderline (really, I'm not) which was a nasty bomb to drop at a first appointment, and asking me about my research. Several times, which is a sure-fire way to make me mad, because it implies that she wasn't listening the first time. I wasn't paying her to talk about my research; I have colleagues for that!!! And then she bad-mouthed the agencies that my insurance will actually cover, saying that she got a lot of patients that came from there and weren't happy, and made faces about the pdoc's office that I currently go to, implying that they were not very good. All of which really confused me and massively slowed down my treatment progress.

And you know what? That "second rate" pdoc group and "not so good" therapy agency have turned out to be just fine. I didn't know any better with that first pdoc, or I would have been out of there a lot sooner. I also had a really hard time finding anyone who was taking new patients, particularly without a referral or existing dx. So I settled on the first one who said yes, and that was a mistake. She made me feel bad, which seems pretty counter-productive.

Clearly your situation is not as negative, but it does sound like it might be time to shop around if you don't think you're getting what you need out of it.
