I was thinking one thing I may be able to do is see her once a month paying full rate until my insurance situation changes. I really don't feel comfortable popping up on her doorstep and saying "Hey it's been 7 months and I can't pay you almost at all, will you take me back?" Of course I am exaggerating but you get the gist. There is also the issue that I still owe her around $500, which I would have to pay in addition to any new appointments.

My roommate says I have done everything she's asked, including 6 months of DBT with no contact with her, as well as paying her monthly what I owe, so I should ask her to take me back on a sliding scale, but I don't feel comfortable with it, unless I saw her 1/month on a full fee.
