I'm temporarily not seeing my T anymore since my insurance ended. My T works at the office I saw him at part-time. I am almost positive that he has a second job at this one place in a different town. This other place I believe he also works at will take appointments on sliding scale fees. I am currently unemployed and have no insurance, so I would obviously qualify. Question is, since my T never said anything to me, should I call that other office to track him down and try to get an appointment to continue seeing him?--Assume that I am right, that is. I know my T's car and he has a parking permit sticker for (I think) this other office. Is it ethical for me to call the other office to track him down and see him if he never told me that he worked there? He knows that I'm good on the internet and that I know his car. He has enough sense to figure out that if I came up with an appointment with him that it didn't happen by coincidence.

I don't see any problem in checking to see if he is there... my sister in law sees the same pdoc I see but she sees her at the hospital. She don't have very good insurance so I told her she needs to try to make an appointment to see her where I go. They go by a sliding scale there too so she might be able to see her for free and maybe even get her meds for free because they have to pay full price for her meds too.
Good luck

Why not just ask him? Leave a message on his voice mail. Maybe he can't come out and tell you since he works for the place where you see him, but I'm sure if you brought it up he would have no problem telling you if it might be a possibility for you to see him at the place that operates on a sliding scale. Or go ahead and call there - even if you can't see him, it would be a way for you to continue getting therapy.

Good Luck!

Go for it! The worst that can happen is he says no. In some areas of the country, a psychologist cannot actively seek a person to see for counseling. Did I say that right? Anyway, he might think it unethical to promote himself as your only T, and might welcome the contact.

If nothing else, he might be able to link you with someone that suits you for counseling... after all, that is what you need.
