Adding to this thought: Covid opened up more therapists to the idea of online services.
That might be an option for you. I tried to use one, but didn’t have great success. I found the level of therapists was sub par compared to in-person. But with your already not great experiences, this may be successful for you.
Covid opened up more therapists to the idea of online services.
As someone in the medical field, there was a lot of legality issues - deciding where a provider needs to be credentialed when they are not practicing in the state which the patient is in, is a tricky issue. While I’m sure some providers were resistant to telehealth and were forced to get used to it starting in 2020, a lot of resistance was one of practical ‘can I legally do this’ concern.
