I found both of my therapists online. The first one was from a group that a friend referred me to, I really liked her but never felt connected with her, not that she was a bad therapist at all. It took me a year to finally break the news to her and find another therapist that was really difficult because she good at what she did. She was in my insurance plan.

My second therapist is in a private group practice but also does counseling at a university; I found her online on my own. She didn't take my insurance. I found that out after a couple emails back and forth. However, I shared with her via email that I am a fultime student living off student loans, so she offered me the same rate I was paying as my insurance copay when seeing my last therapist. I was thrilled to get that email from her. I met her a week later and really liked her and have been seeing her since, its been 10 months now.
