How long did it take you to get a counseling appointment?

I left messages last week with 2 different offices and haven't heard back from either.  I'm kind of limited by my insurance, and I was looking for somewhere close to home, but I guess I'll have to look a little further out.
The day I left was just my beginning.

Re: How long did it take you to get a counseling appointment?

  • Hmmm...that's strange. I know that once I called the office, it took a while to get an intial appt (1 month out or so?) but I was at least able to get a hold of someone quickly. I'd keep trying back and various hours or even stop in to make the appt?

  • I had to call the counselor I went with 4 or 5 times, she doesn't have office staff so if she was off for a holiday then you got an answering machine. Great counselor, just a pain to get through to

  • My therapist is the only one in his office. When I called, he answered and offered me the 1st available spot. I had to wait a couple days. I would say call back. With all those days off, they might not have had the time to call you back.

  • Not too get too personal but if you are willing to get counseling by the White Marsh mall, I have a good rec. You are near Baltimore right? It look about a month for my first appt. 

    Since it is the holiday season, it may take a little longer. My therapist told me she gets busier this time of year 

  • after leaving a message I heard back in a few days later and had an appointment two weeks later.

    I just call them again and leave another message

  • I had pretty good luck. The first one could see me that day but we didn't click.  The second I spoke to booked me two weeks out.  I left a lot of messages that went unanswered though. If they're not accepting new patients, maybe that's why they didn't call back.

  • I got my appt a few days out, I have a really flexible schedule though. If you can get in during the day on a week day you have a lot better chances.
  • I finally heard back from someone and have my intake appointment this afternoon.  Whew!

    Glad you have an appointment, but I'm sorry to see you're over in this neck of the woods.  I hope you're ok.  Let me know if you need to talk.

    So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
