Bummed I have to find a new therapist

[Hello_Vivi]

Today I had to break up with my therapist. I began seeing a therapist through my employer's EAP program and was really feeling optimistic after a few sessions with her. EAP referred me to this therapist as she was supposed to be in network. After the initial sessions which were covered by EAP I was told to contact my insurance provider as she was sure she was in-network but was having trouble with how to bill them. I contacted my insurance today only to be informed that she is actually not in my network. So after opening up to someone and making a little progress, I'm back at square one and have to find a new therapist. (I already checked how much it would be to go out of network and it is not something I can afford). I feel so disappointed and it sucks to open up and share things with someone only to realize I will have to start all over with someone else. I also kind of feel bad about having to tell her I won't be able to see her anymore (I know she's a professional and deals with this sort of thing but I can't help but feel kind of guilty about it).

Sounds like you had a good experience. Sorry you have to go through the work to change to someone else. But remember, you did it once, so you can definitely do it again!
