My health care provider can't give me mental health care because my deductible is too high. They are trying to help me find resources in the community. I had one trial session with a psychotherapist who did Gestalt and I didn't like it. Another person offered sessions of DBT but she wasn't a qualified therapist. All she had was a masters in education. I am finding that there is a lot of sub par therapy offered by clinics that use interns and not qualified professionals. I am getting confused. Another therapist said she would offer a free trial session and reduced rates for therapy but doesn't want someone who will call her in the middle of the night or anything like that. I told her that's why there's crisis hot lines. I was kind of miffed that she said that right off. If she doesn't want to deal with severe cases than why did she return my phone message when I expressly said I was in bad shape. I have severe depression and suicidal ideation and I am not finding any help. Am I doing something wrong?
