There's a shortage of psychiatrists, and I know many of them, in our state, work with adjudicated youth, in the prison system, or in one of the two state mental hospitals. I know people who've gotten counselling through Catholic Social Services, or Lutheran Social Services. I've heard good things. Can you find a doctor who you can private pay? There are many more people being treated for mental health since the Affordable Care Act was initiated which is a good thing, but an overload on the previous systems.

@2cents thanks for your suggestions.
Private pay would be very hard on my SS income. That’s why I am looking for a provider that takes Medicare.
Thanks!
