My T actually puts up with my insurance company. I'm one of only two clients that she takes insurance from. There has been a lot of chaos, especially with beginning of the year deductibles and trying to contact them via phone, but she does it for me. I know she rarely bills them since she only has the two of us with this insurance, so she goes months at a time only getting my tiny deductible w/o having received the insurance's compensation.

I think the kicker though was when she went on maternity leave last year. She communicated with my dietitian (same office) about stuff and a lot of it warmed my heart. The big one though was when my dietitian told T that she was raising her fee (for everyone), so she'd "have to raise rainboots' [discounted] rate." Apparently T told her, "Oh no you're not." It really made me smile when the dietitian told me the story.

Recently, this care for me was confirmed when my T said that she's invested in me. The entire conversation made me feel so cared for, and I remember just feeling kind of shocked. She doesn't often tell me things that will feed into my desire for approval, but she does tell me what's important for me to know. I actually knew for the moment I met her (in a group setting) that I wanted to work with her, and I don't regret that decision one bit.
