Therapy?

I have been in therapy off and on for 18 years.

I quit drinking directly after a conversation with my therapist over 13 years ago.

I have also gone to a ton of therapy where I felt that I was wasting my time because I didn't trust the therapist.

So I learned how to work the system.

If you have a therapist you want to go to, or one you think you like but they are out of your network-

You need to call your insurance company and tell the. You would like a Single Case Agreement with the selected therapist. You need this because of network shortage and you have found one that works. They might push back immediately but if you persist, they will give it to you.

This agreement allows you to go out of network with the selected therapist or Doctor at insurance prices. These Agreements are typically for 6 months and need to be re-upped.

This works with special doctors too.
