(BTW, I've been seeing my T for about 3-1/2 years.)

I wonder if you can work something out with your existing T....perhaps a lower rate, or a change in the duration of visits (which is one thing I did - cut my sessions from 2x/week to 1x/week).

Or, talk to your T about recommending another T. Since your T knows you, your T may have an idea of who may be a good fit for you.

In any case, try to give yourself the time you need to wind down with this T and give yourself proper closure....
I'm hoping I can possibly work out a lower rate with current T. I really like her and would rather not change. I only see her once every 2 weeks (cut back after insurance complained I was seeing her too much (when she was in network)). She does let me email between sessions and responds, so I would hate to get a new T that doesn't allow this.

If worse comes to worse, maybe one of the T in pdocs office is covered under my insurance. I sent pdoc an email asking who they were and explaining my situation and asking who he would recommend so I can check if they are covered on my insurance. If I have to switch my first choice would probably be to one in pdoc's office as they would have access to my file there.

I hate my luck.
