I pay for my psychologist almost entirely out of pocket, at $160 / session. My private, supplemental health insurance through work, will only reimburse me $1,000 a year. I've just told her I have to go to seeing her every other week rather than weekly because I simply can't afford weekly right now.

My addictions Dr. and addictions treatment groups are funded by our public health care. I'm going to see if I can increase my private appointments with my addictions Dr. now that I'm not seeeing my psychologist so oftern.

My psychiatrist is paid for by public health care. And my last stay in a psych hospital (8 weeks) was completely paid for by public health care.

I feel really lucky to have public health care, and definitely feel like I'm getting my money's worth from my tax dollars that fund it.
