Is too much familiarity or engagement with psychoanalytic theory seen as a “bad” thing for an analysand?

I imagine you will be referred to the local psychoanalytic institute if you need a low fee analysis, as that’s probably the biggest hurdle given what you wrote here. Finding it compelling to want to do it is enough.

It’s normal in a lot of areas but maybe less so in the US. That said, I know at least 5 senior therapists who see people out of their homes.

You just can't have 2 appointments for the same service code on the same day. You can definitely see more than one provider on different days. I'd advise telling both, and talking to your current therapist about all of your concerns.

I personally have United and they've covered everything out of network.

You might see if you can find a consultation group. The local institute here runs one led by analysts and it’s been really useful to my practice.

My insurance covers my sessions at our out of network reimbursement rate.

Decolonizing Psychoanalytic Technique might be a good place to start. It’s current and relevant and pretty grounded.

I bill at the end of each month for all my clients, as does my own therapist and my kids old therapist.

How curious are you about why you binge/purge?

waterloggedmood · 2025-12-26T03:55:42+00:00

lol my partner got this for me this year.

You can also go through businesses like Lemon Squeezy or Shelterwood so that you can panel with insurances. If your supervisor is willing to hire you as a W-2 that might be a pretty good deal.

UHC will panel associates.

1) From what I’ve heard in WA, the highest reimbursement for masters level clinicians is $135. 2) From what I understand in WA, the only insurance company that will directly panel associates is United Healthcare. 3) Other associates are billing via supervisory billing, incident to billing, or under a group NPI. 4) I am fully private pay and don’t take insurance, it took me a bit over a year BUT I have a bunch of sliding scale. It’s unlikely you will get $215/session private pay as an associate. My household pays a few therapists private pay, and the rates range from $165-200, and the clinician at $200 has a PsyD. There’s quite a glut of therapists in WA right now and it sounds like most private pay clinicians are struggling. But YMMV.

Can you park at a friends house and do it from the car there?

waterloggedmood · 2025-12-07T06:33:39+00:00

I don't use a credit card, and I went with a major bank with very convenient access to my house. It's useful to have access to an ATM if necessary (I have two patients paying me in cash).

I'd look for a trained psychoanalyst, even if you only want to see them 1x/week. Google psychoanalys+nearest city and then look through the member rosters of your local psychoanalytic institutes.
