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

Finding a good therapist is hard to come by especially for couples therapy and worth every penny. What’s going on mama?

like

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

Anyone else feel like they are terrible at their job and being a terrible mom for working long hours even if the kids are in the next room?

like

Help. My significant other is asking for us to live separately. Our relationship has been toxic this year, worsened by the kids being at home while working. I'd been holding on for the sake of the kids. When we separate and I'm splitting my time with my kids, I know I'm not going to be in a great mental space. Would you confide in your superior that you're going through this, or going through "something personal" or would you keep it to yourself?

Mamas, I am stressing a lot because next month, we won’t have health insurance anymore as I quit my job for a better opportunity. I don’t care much about us but more about my baby as she needs to go see the pediatrician for her vaccines. Is there a private insurance you can recommend?
