My T has changed the type of therapy she's doing w/me, from talk psychotherapy to interpersonal therapy (IPT), which is a short term therapy. I'm angry and defensive, mostly because my T didn't tell me she was going to do this...I had to research the different types of therapy and figure out which one our sessions looked most like now (I used to work in this field, so, yup, IPT is what we're doing). So, I'm wondering if a limit in Medicare insurance is the reason for the change. My dxs are: Personality Disorder NOS w/avoidant features, anxious depression, Cognitive Disorder NOS.

I'm also angry because I've become very attached to my T, which is, of course, one of the features of a successful outcome. I could call Medicare, but I'm not sure they would give me a straight answer.

Has anyone had experience with Medicare limiting the number of therapy sessions they will pay for? Thanks for any information anyone is will or able to share~~

There aren't limits. I would talk to the therapist about why she is changing things.
