Ugh I know the whole system is just awful and so challenging to navigate. I do have out-of-network benefits with 20% coinsurance which is better than most behavioral health plan benefits but still $$ depending on the provider's hourly rate. I'm thinking of trying one of those 100% virtual talk therapy services but then you just never know what you're gonna get...Thanks for sharing!

I just want to share that in my experience there are two groups you'll be recommended. They advertise as accepting Aetna but neither of them are in-network. I believe the cheapest rate was $75 a session for a junior non-licensed professional (student in training). The typical staff was $325 a session. That fairfield average income really doing us dirty when it comes to mental health services.

I used to work real estate in Stamford and would be happy to connect you with someone I know can get the job done. To match you with the right person, it helps to know a bit more about you and what you’re looking for in a place beyond bed and baths. Think building and local amenities, transportation, activities, nightlife, parking, etc.

Go to Manhattan, spend the day there, have a great dinner. Ride the train home and realize living in a place like Stamford is worth it to get proximity to one of the greatest cities on earth.

I used Patricia Rattray and recommend her because she's very intelligent and straight-forward. No realtor is going to focus on rentals because it's not their main source of income but I used her previously for that and was very helpful. She's very familiar with the city's inventory outside of the highly advertised/BLT properties. She also knows all the landlords and which ones have a bad reputation. She'll show you those spots too but will give you the disclaimer.
