I have an issue. I signed up for new insurance yesterday for it to start in January and my t isn't covered. I've only seen her a couple times. Mainly I wanted to see her to learn DBT. My problem is, should I continue to see her for the rest of the year or just cut it off now? I don't want to get attached. I would like to learn DBT though, so I was thinking maybe going twice a week till the end of the year.

I emailed her to ask her about it and I also emailed my other t to see what she thinks. I plan on seeing my other t once a month starting in January because I'll be able to afford it hopefully, or I might ask for a referral from my GP for a new therapist. I'm not sure what I'm going to do in the new year.

Does your insurance offer any out-of-network benefits? The T I see is out of network, but insurance still covers 60% of the fee (I think it would be like 80% if she was in network, but it's hard to find those). That could help you afford the one who will be out of network. And I think even if you don't continue in the new year, it could be helpful to see the DBT T for the rest of the year.

Well I emailed DBT t about change of insurance and how she's not covered, so she basically said she doesn't have time for me. I got a call from my life story t and she said she'd see me again starting in January. So everything worked out.
