Somewhat recently, I was going to counseling at a place called frontier behavioral health. They have different buildings and sections with slightly different purpose. The one I was going to for a while dealt with more specific and temporary "crises" situations. They also have an "adult and family" building, where they do individual and family counseling; it also has an IOP program there for longer, more intense, situations. The therapist I was seeing wanted to refer me there, because I was struggling so much. But her supervisors' supervisor said no so that was it. Then suddenly my therapist thought I was better and discharged me! But then I found out that I didn't need the therapist to refer me--I could just go in myself. So I did a phone intake, and then tomorrow I'm going to finish my intake in person. Hopefully this will work out.

I'm so glad you found out you could get more help on your own.

Good for you! If you have it available to you, you should take advantage of it.
