Good Sliding-Scale Therapist Resource for L.A.?

October 10, 2007 8:09 PM

Anyone know a good resource for finding a good sliding-scale therapist in the Los Angeles area?

I'm ready to shop around for a new therapist and would love to be pointed in the right direction. I have some bare-bones health insurance, but nothing that would cover regular therapist visits, so i'm looking for someone with a sliding scale. I saw an LCSW for a couple years and thought I made good progress until my employer's insurance switched and I no longer got those visits covered. It's been three years since then.
Help me find the right therapist! Is there a resource that has gained the trust of the hive mind? Any advice would help.

(oh and in case it matters, the area of expertise I'm looking for is anxiety/depression/ADD)

I asked the same question less than a month ago. Try: How to find a decent therapist on no $$$ and scroll down for UCLA options.

The Maple Counseling Center in Beverly
Hills provides sliding scale psychodynamic therapy. My friend is doing her internship there and they have a rep for being really good, especially among the sliding scale set.

I suggest checking the local graduate programs. Usually they are quite cheap.

Try my sister. She is an art therapist but does regular talk therapy as well, has a sliding scale, and specializes in anxiety.
