So I still have a lot of confusion about where I can go for counseling...I have seen people say that they got free counseling at certain mental health clinics. This just confuses me as the only sort I'm familiar with is where you go to your PCP and get a referral to a therapist that you have to pay insane amounts of money or your insurance covers some of it. Which I actually went through last summer, and couldn't stand it.

But now I have hardly any money, no health insurance, just in a very hard, low spot, and am looking for therapy anywhere I can go but I'm lost. Where, if anywhere, can I go for low-cost or even that free counseling? Even if it's one visit...I need to go somewhere for help! I did find a not-for-profit mental health agency that I am determined to call very very soon to ask if they have someone I can talk to and i'm sure maybe I'll figure things out but there but I guess I am looking for reassurance that there are other resources in case this one turns me away. I'm scared of having nowhere to turn until I have a full-time job, which seems to not be anytime soon.
