Sorry Jay, I missed your post and see that you and Sassy posted about similar situations (no surprise given the bad economy). Going from an HMO to a PPO should help if she's been an out-of-network provider. Would she consider a sliding scale arrangement so that if/when your income gets a little better you might be able to take a bigger proportion of the fee? My experience with T's is that (1) they need the money themselves; or (2) they don't, but feel very weird without a more customary fee schedule, worries about the "frame" and boundaries etc. Many, regardless, will help you lighten the load to some extent, especially if you see them more than once a week. And others actually have sliding scale fees, especially places like Family Services or other social services who provide therapy.

When do you see her next?

Lucie
