A thread/rant/query on mental healthcare in DMV area: Several years ago, I talked with PCP about finding a therapist. She looked into who took my insurance (like 3) and none were taking new patients. She said it was very common for mental healthcare providers (MHP) here. (1/?)

The entire thing has given me a really bad view of MHP professionals, tbh, who are ignoring people who may need really need help. Has *anyone* in the DMV had a more positive experience accessing care? (6/6)

And, apologies for a 7/6, but how did mental healthcare become only specialty in which it is acceptable for providers to not take insurance? My allergist takes it, dermatologist does, PT too. But you need to be rich & have bandwidth for paperwork to access mental health care.

I had that experience in dc. I finally decided fine I’ll pay out of pocket and called multiple people and never even got a call back. Didn’t end up seeing a therapist until I got to Boston. (Still didn’t take insurance but she and I agreed to a price I could afford)
