Black Doctor me, please! Pt. 2

 Y'allll....

We are 0 for 4 with finding a black therapist.

When I wrote Black Doctor me, please! Pt.1, I was feeling so liberated in my decision to find a doctor that I really thought would relate to me on a different level. Little did I know that shortly after writing that blog post that I would be catapulted into this deep depression. It was almost like diving timing. 

I had the resources on this blog to find a black doctor. I literally dedicated a page to a list of links to finding one, but it seems that compiling the links was the 'easy' part. Finding a doctor that can fit my schedule, insurance plan, needs, etc. has turned into a very difficult task.

The first therapist didn't work because I moved to the east coast and her coverage was only in Washington. The second one was only seeing pregnant and postpartum women, the third one was leaving the practice, and the 4th (and most promising one) is out of network with my insurance.

Super disappointing, but you know what they say...5th times the charm?

Let you guys know how it goes!
