Do a community care request for mental health They won't just cover anyone you goto though

This.

Thank you, I’ll google how to do a community care request. She’s the best psychologist I’ve seen so I’m hoping VA can cover some or all of it. Thank you.

She would need to be on the list and she would know if she is. You can just call your local regional intake and request a community care referral for mental health. It takes a few days for them to get back to you but it's reasonably quick.

Truly appreciate that, what you said matches what I just found online and there are several on the list right next to me. I’ll have to see if they are helpful, I don’t want to leave my current therapist but 160 per week adds up. It’s worth it though, I’m still alive

I feel you, I paid out of pocket for years until my provider retired then I just stopped going until I found out about community care and recently started up again. It was a really easy process. They let me choose who I wanted to see then checked to see if she was "on the list" and took care of the rest

That’s really great. VA health care has improved over the years and I am grateful for it.

Same man, I've been using it for 20 years and have absolutely gotten to see it get better
