Buen dia a todos!
My name is Jennifer, Ive been living in Montevideo now for two years. I am working legally, therefore have my sociedad SMI covered under the BPS.
I have been attempting to see a psychologist now for the last 6 months, had a trial with two different ones through the SMI doing the sessions in spanish. (My spanish is quite okay for surface conversation). At the end of 5 sessions, each one told me i need to find a psychologist that speaks English, they just could not help me any further with the problems of the language barrier.
Unfortunatly within the SMI, there is not one psychologist that speaks English. I have been consulting privately from certain recommendations, always leading down the wrong path. The British Hospital offers English speaking psychologists with sessions around $1000 for an hour. Which with my salary of 90 pesos an hour, can not even begin to think to pay.
If anyone may have had a similar situation, or knows anyone they can recommend that is willing to work with the SMI, or offer services at an affordable amount, please contact me.
Gracias
Jennifer
