Looking for a Free Therapist

Right now I can’t afford therapy so workbooks, councilors (Schools provide them and also some jobs), and accessible therapy like BetterHelp are god sends. Also if you have insurance call the number on your card and ask what your options are; if you have consistent struggles with mental health some insurances cover therapy and psychiatry in full, also they can point you in the right direction of more affordable therapist and other options

If nothing else is an option/working for you something I do sometimes is just talk through my feelings out loud to myself, kind of “rehearsing” a conversation I’d have with a therapist (I don’t have a therapist either, partially for financial reasons but also just because I never connected with any therapists I tried in the past in a way that was actually productive in working on my mental health). It’s definitely helped me work through a lot of my own feelings because speaking them out loud helps me process them and think about them from a more rational place, I don’t feel like I’m bottling them up as much anymore. Hope you find something that works for you 💕

It has me on EMDR right now

Try chat owl! It's an AI lead therapy app that's free. I'm trying it now (and not being consistent enough with it). It's no full replacement to talk therapy but it's better than nothing.

It's not really therapy, just a thing where you can talk about whatever with a trained listener, but it's the only thing I know that's free. It's called 7cupsoftea
