I am so bummed right now. The lady I contacted said she doesnt accept my insurance. I looked and looked and either they are LPC's which cant diagnose, dont accept my insurance or are male. I refuse to see a male therapist. Been there done that. I cant go without a therapist, this one is dangerous, ****!!!!

Dnester, LPCs, like LCSWs, are master's-level clinicians trained to provide therapy and diagnose mental illness including dissociative disorders. They cannot prescribe medication, but it does not seem like you're seeking that kind of treatment.

Idk she told me on the phone she was a LPC and therefore cant diagnose.

Hm, looks like it depends on where you live

Are you necessarily looking for a diagnosis right now? Could you just tell her what your T had said about your possible diagnoses?

Do you think you could find an LPC or LCSW to provide just supportive therapy until your regular T gets back?

I could but I was hoping to take this time to get help for dissociative disorder issues. My T knows nothing about dissociative disorders and because she knows nothing she is actually going to be doing supervision under the T I am seeing now and having a problem with so either way I will still technically be treated by this same woman as my T on vaca is going to be looking to her for advice. ****!
