I'm starting on Medicare April 1, and I need to find a psychologist who takes it. Do you all know anyplace to get recommendations for ones to call? Alternatively, does anyone here know any psychologists in Gainesville, Florida? It has to be a Ph.D. for Medicare to cover it. they don't pay for LMHC's. Thanks.

Go to

and put in your zip code over on the right. This is one place to look for therapists.

3jane, look at UF's psychology department. They are a really good school with a great psychology program. If you have an anxiety disorder...

I don't know about Medicare or anything though..

Hi 3jane, Do you have a pcp? If so ask your pcp for a referal. They should know what psycholigists accept medicare and also would probably have a preferance of who to refer you to. Good luck

Be well and take care,
