ErinBear, I am so sorry. I have never heard of such a stupid reason to refuse to work with a client--that they have to take public transit. Some people don't own a car so they take public transit everywhere. So certain T's only will work with people who have cars? WTF??? I also wonder why these therapists are asking you how you will get to your sessions. Seems like a strange question in the first session. Isn't it enough that you show up on time each week? Who cares if you take car, bus, taxi, train? Maybe if you go through this again, don't share with them your transportation mode, so you can't be discriminated against based on this.

Sometimes they won't take patients unless they will go on antidepressants

This is also not the sort of question they should ask you when you first contact them by phone. The first phone call should be very brief and involve setting an appointment time, getting directions, etc. There should be no discussion of meds in the first phone call! I think some of these people need to go back to therapy school.

I find this really upsetting.
