My T charged $120 for the intake and $60 after that until I hit my deductible. Have you considered whatever the higher level of care is that they're recommending?

No, I haven't considered it. I've been with my therapist for 1.5 years. He knows my story because he was there every week when things were escalating in my relationship. We have a good working relationship. Why would I give that up to start over with new people? We're managing the suicidal feelings but right now I need this level of support from him.
