I have only seen T's in private practice. Current T use to work for a hospital as well as have her private practice. I like that she is able to set her own "rules" rather than what the system policies are. Like Soscorpio said she sees me in the evening because of my work schedule, waved my copay a couple of times (her idea), offers last minute appointments on her days off. Recently I have dealt with the possibility of my insurance changing to something crappy and she told me she would charge me quite a bit less than her normal rate.
