I was with a therapist for a little over a year at Kaiser.
Around like 3 or 4 months ago she tells me we will have a plan should she not be employed with Kaiser anymore - I would follow her to her private practice but it was to be between me and her- don't tell anyone else. (This should have been a red flag).
She reminded me of the plan a month or so ago. Then came the day she was leaving. She was cold and distant when i asked if we were sticking to plan that I would follow her. At first she was "idk kaiser will come after me if they found out." But i told her I would self-pay, kaiser can't do anything then. She even told me how to find her profile and everything.
So I went through all the trouble to find her, set up a profile, and put the information in to self pay then she turns around and cancels all my appointments. She now is covering her ass stating that "i can't see kaiser patients."
She has caused so much anxiety and depression with how she has handled things. She has caused ruptures during our sessions and tells me if something bothers me to come to her and we can work it out, except she loves to say, "I never said that!" "Sorry you feel that way" etc. She knew the work we were doing was so important to me. But she couldn't be honest from the beginning? Idk what I even did to her to make her treat me this way.
I'm so heartbroken. I thought I finally found a therapist who actually cared about me despite some ruptures. This has caused so much stress I have to pause my IVF journey because I can't risk miscarrying.
