[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS from 12.53: The better mental health people don't take insurance. Sad but true. You can often negotiate around the fee, though.[/quote] Even if a provider does not take insurance, you may still be able to submit a claim to your insurance. To that end, insurance may cover a psychiatrist but not so much a family therapist -- in particular, an LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In between the psychiatrist and family therapist, you have clinical psychologists. I suggest seeing one of those instead of a family therapist. A psychologist will be better educated and trained in cognitive behavior therapy, which may be useful to your son. Also, insurance coverage for the psychologist may be better than for the therapist. The school counselor may have psychologist recommendations -- one she has seen results with.[/quote]
