Jeff, if you are on disability, most pdocs must take disability - medicare/medicaid. They cannot discriminate based on ability to pay.
However, pdocs/therapists may decline to treat a patient who they think they cannot help or is outside their ability to treat. ie. if a patient requires more intensive therapy/intervention etc.
I think maybe your letter stating that you "will kill yourself" at some point - that it is a forgone conclusion, then that could be red-flag to a provider and they may shy away for that reason. Providers want to help folks who are looking for help, and want to improve their lives, even in a small way.
Do you think you can be helped or treated? I think that is an important question that you need to ask yourself.
