if you cant find your medicaid membership booklet contact your caseworker. your caseworker can send you another one or you can go in to their office and pick one up from the receptionist or in the lobby on the lobby information tables/bulletin\magazine racks. or any Social security \human services \welfare office will also have them free of charge.

My insurance does, in fact, help people find providers in my state. Its this states equivalent of medicaid. My extherapist actually called the insurance to try to find me someone new. That is what is done here. They just dont do a very good job. Ive been a US citizen my whole life. I know what is done here in the USA, ive been in and out of therapy for 11 years, and i fought for my SSI. Trust us, and please dont reply as if we have an almost total lack of knowledge based on what we dont say or articulate. I see you do this with many of our posts and Im afraid I must draw a boundary. You may be trying to be helpful, but it only makes me feel demeaned.
I have read about DID, I have read about therapy for it, I have read just about everything on the ISSTD website and on PODS, i have read about its history, i have read every book i could get my hands on good and bad, and i have struggled two years trying to get help for DID and I know my way around. And thats just for DID, i have other diagnoses as well that I have done reading on. Ive even done reading on things id been misdiagnosed with. Theres a reason the counselor said I should become a therapist. I had to figure those things out for survival. So I read. I read a lot.
We are trying everything we can and have been in this "game" for a while. I would not have made this post or even considered such a drastic measure if we were not doing everything we could with so little result.
