A lot of really good therapists don't accept insurance. A lot of really good psychiatrists don't take insurance.

Insurance covers on average two sessions of therapy annually.

Therapy is only effective over long periods (years) of regular (weekly/biweekly) sessions.

It's a fucking travesty.

I spend close to $500 per month, after insurance, for my mental healthcare. This is a therapist and a psychiatrist.

None of this is covered by my insurance.

I pay what I can with an FSA but it's extraordinarily exhausting.
