Echoes, I think you're doing the right thing with getting the new therapist. I had psychoanalytic and wouldn't do anything else. Sort of funny story; I saw my T for 9 years in the 70s and 80s then didn't see her for 9 years then saw her again for 9 until summer of 2005. I told her a few years before I terminated that in 2014 I'm doing Jungian analysis because I want to and it will be 9 years again :-)
I was going to suggest spending some time saving up some money specifically for the kind of therapy you want while you looked around and found what you wanted. I paid out-of-pocket (had to go back to work full-time specifically to pay for it). I haven't used work medical insurance for psychotherapy since the 1970s when they changed it so badly; my T had me write my Congressman at that time they made such ugly changes and started all the not very good stuff they have now. I have fantasies of figuring out ways to make the mental health system work better or be paid for better, etc. I use to fantasize about how I'd spend the $10,000,000 I was going to win in the Publisher Sweeps but now do puzzles like health care instead :-)
