Psychotherapists who accept medicare??
I have searched for over a year for a therapist who accepts medicare. My long term therapist retired and left me without a referral. These "young" therapist want private pay it seems. Are we older folks thrown to the curb because we are not profitable? Community mental health only cater to addiction therapy. I feel bitter, angry and terribly saddened that mental health care is accessible only to the more wealthy.

I was a psychotherapist for over 40 years but now retired. Just a thought. If your therapist retired and did not provide you with referrals, that would be totally unethical.
I go to wellness grove in canton ohio. I love my therapist! I have a real connection with her!! She accepts Medicare. I have united healthcare. I had to go online to find someone. My insurance company was worthless with any referrals. I wish u much luck.
