here in the USA therapy is just like any other thing every american can decide for their self if they want to be in therapy, with who and why. We can even see therapist after therapist after therapist just like we have the freedom to make a decision as to which medical doctors we want to see, for how long and move on to another medical doctor if we choose to.

in other words americans are not limited on how long they can be in therapy and with who. its a personal choice.

that said some insurance plans do limit how often and who they are willing to pay for.

if insurance wont pay then its up to each person to decide whether they want to continue and pay out of their own pockets.

my suggestion is if ..........you..........feel you want to be in therapy then contact your insurance plans they will tell you which treatment providers are listed on your plans.

this way if you feel you still need therapy after a treatment provider has dropped you, you will know who to contact and set up with next.
