My T said she would agree to seeing me more often as an option if I chose not to do outpatient. I have an appt with t on Tuesday morning and I have an appt for an intake on Tuesday in the afternoon at the Psych hospital (going to ask more questions about the 'program' at the hospital before I make any decisions about 'enrolling').
My T did say that I need more treatment than she can give meaning more than the one appointment per week. I contacted my insurance and they said I have no limits on appts per week. I then contacted my T and told her how the 'orientation' went. I also asked her since there is no limit to number of visits would she entertain seeing me more than 1x a week instead of me doing an outpatient at the local hospital. She said she would like to discuss that at our next appt. As a side note she is a clinical psychologist and used to work in a psych ward of a hospital before she went into business as an independent therapist.
