I suggest contacting Dr Michael L. Sakowitz, Ph.D. who is a psychologist (NJ 35SI00148700) and member of ObesityHelp's Mental Health Board. He’s located in Wayne NJ. No matter where you are, I highly recommended going. Let me know if you need me to supply a contact number

Good Luck on your Journey !!

Tom

I couldn't find anyone who took my insurance (different than what I have now) and wound up paying out of pocket and submitting myself.

I second Tom's thought on Dr. Mike...he's awesome. I have Cigna too and I went to him!

Since I am an in-network provider for Cigna it is usually very easy for patients to see me.  Unless you have  'Choice Fund', or a high in-network deductable,  your financial obligation is only your copay.

On a different note, I am humbled by the positive comments!

Thank you for asking this. I just finished asking a similar question at the Main Board this morning. I am excited to read about someone who takes Cigna and is so good to clients and not too far from me. I left a message and am hoping for an appointment soon.
