How do you find your therapist? How do I know if my company insurance covers for them? Very new to this and also the system here in the US.

the insurance company that provides insurance for your employer should have a website (for example blue cross blue shield) with a search function that allows you to search for in-network providers.

i used psychology today’s search function and filtered by the type of therapy i was interested in, and insurance they take

no problem, good luck!

Agree with associate attorney 1 about using Psychology Today to research and check out some of their websites. Also check your EAP. They might be able to help with finding one and should at least cover a few sessions.

Once you call, the therapist should set up a short 15 min consultation call to get in line on expectations from both sides and understand what you’re hoping to get. I really encourage you to think about this- i never thought much about this before starting therapy and think i would have found a therapist match sooner if i had.

Therapists have different styles and unfortunately it can take trying out a few until you find one that works- don’t give up if you aren’t vibing with your first one! I’ve had a few and have been with my current one for 5 years. Don’t be afraid to filter by seemingly trivial issues- for example, it was important to be to go to a female who is relatively close in age to me.

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines.

I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?
