Well written and right-on John Martin. I too struggle with taking insurance and having to submit a "diagnosis" while working therapeutically and holistically with the client. I tell clients, up front, during my release of confidentiality talk, what the insurance companies do and can ask for. I also struggle with the dichotomy of feeling like a professional vs. the limited fees and often "unprofessional" behaviors I am subjected to by these companies. I have been observing the change in this profession, including the MARC out of UCLA opening a family center in Santa Monica and using family coaches instead of therapists. I too am looking inside myself, my interests, how can I best serve the community and still take care of myself. More power to you and thanks for the thoughtful article!!
