Also on Kaiser... they make you jump through hoops to get consistent mental health (regular weekly therapy). If you're persistent enough (call and be very direct about the kind of care you want) they'll hook you up with Magellan Health, the company they outsource to for mental health. Through Magellan, I was given a huge array of therapists to choose from in the Bay Area. If you shop around you can find someone you click with.

Did they outsource the mental health care now? 15 years ago they had their own psychologist/psychiatrist staff you could meet. Did that change?

My experience of this is secondhand, but they try to push people to group vs. individual therapy (though still in-house).
