People who see a therapist for mental/emotional health issues...

Question

Is it ever covered by health insurance? Do you feel that it is helping you? I think maybe I could benefit.. Is it really expensive?

Answer 1

i've been in therapy for almost 6 years.  Was diagnosed Bi-polar 5years ago.  It's always been covered by my insurance.  I love going to therapy.  It gives me a chance to talk to someone that doesn't really know me so i can be totaly honest.  I don't think it would hurt to see a counselor....it can be quite expensive if not covered by insurance, but the therapists are usually willing to compromise pricing when someone is paying cash.

best of luck

Answer 2

i couldn't answer the financial aspect of this question because i saw my school's therapist (she was included in tuition) but all i could say about it is that she was absolutely terrible. I'm not saying they were all bad, but you really have to look to find a good one. it is great when people feel they need someone to talk to and actually find that person to help, but in my case i feel like she was only looking for a paycheck. if you have a certain thing wrong with you (in my case it was eating disorders) you should really find someone who specializes in your particular problem.

i'm pretty sure health insurance covers some doctors, but to be sure you should call your provider and see what they have available to you. good luck :)

Answer 3

I was going through a hard time in my life and I decided to see a therapist a while back.  It was covered by my insurance.  Insurance plans are all different though but you can call and see if they cover it. My therapist really helped me work through what I was going through in my life and I would recommend it to anyone.
