Yep. There are fewer and few psychiatrists who take insurance and often, the ones who are more knowledgable and good to work with are the ones who don't take insurance.
I had one who was knowledgable but was rather a pain in the butt to work with. I worked with him for many years and just put up with the negatives because he did help me find a combo of meds that worked. But when the negatives increased I left and found a new one, who isn't perfect (annoyingly late all the time, etc.) and I have to pay up front and then get reimbursed, which is a pain, but he is pleasant to work with and knows his stuff.
you're right. It is hard to find a good psychiatrist.
