Have had friends do it for $200/hour - virtual sessions.
Are you getting quotes through insurance or direct from a therapist? North Texas was $125–175 a year or so ago but what UHC shows online is drastically higher.
Good to know thanks so much I’ll ask my benefits provider. In Houston if you know anyone good here or happy to do virtual too if your Dallas person does it.
Check to see if your health insurance covers it! Ours covers counseling, including couples counseling, which we were able to do with betterhelp (one of the online platforms). It took a little bit to sort out the actual counselor, etc, but once we did, it was really easy, AND we were able to do off hours because our counselor wasn’t based in the same area as us.
My insurance (also in North Texas) covers mental health services- but it can be difficult finding providers accepting new patients.
Does your company have an EAP? Employee Assistance Program? They don’t offer long term therapy, but you can call and ask for a therapist in your area that accepts your insurance. Get the EAP sessions and then continue with your insurance. The EAP offers free and confidential short-term, solution-focused sessions
I stand in solidarity with you on the new parent complications … I haven’t done therapy yet as we have mostly tolerable but difficult days and days where I am silently pissed because I was up all night and he’s been snoring away lol
Finding a good therapist is hard to come by especially for couples therapy and worth every penny. What’s going on mama?
I’m sorry to hear that mama 🙏🏼 I know how frustrating it feels when my husbands parenting style doesn’t match my expectations :( I found that by communicating clearly how his actions and his lack of contribution to the family makes me feel (eg I feel like I’m doing everything) allows him to become more aware of his actions. Are you able to communicate to him what your expectations are? It also sounds like you need a mental break away and feel guilty doing that
