I am glad by the end of this thread you got a Psych Doc that put you in for Care in the Community, especially during this time we were in. I am a Veteran too with PTSD. I have a therapist in the community too. Been with her for 7 years. I have learned that you really need to be your own advocate for care. Going to the Patient Advocate, and even to the director of Patient Care of the hospital. That got things moving when I needed it too. VA system needs work. Community care as gone through 4 different vendors in the 7 years I have been with my therapist. Its now with Optum. Unsure of the process so far but the beginning of it all was horrible. March 25 I got a call from CITC about starting with my therapist back in Feb and seeing if I got the care I needed, at least trying to see if its working though months to late.
