You're in Philly? There are some REALLY REALLY good universities in your area!!! Temple and UPenn come to mind. Universities are like the "hidden secret" of mental health care. They offer very low rates and very very good services. You may be seeing a student but they are actually much more devoted to their cases because their caseload is much less, because clinical psychology programs are so competitive these days the students are absolute top-notch, and the supervision is unparalleled. Basically, I'd recommend it very much. I've seen a student and I'll tell you the services are often much better than currently practicing therapists I've seen.

I'm not a huge fan of seeing students, residents, interns, nor universities. They change out frequently, do not have the 1/1 nor time nor skill needed for anything beyond short term IMO. Perhaps I am much more biased because I worked for a major university hospital for a long time and have seen it from the inside and out. I am perhaps too critical (maybe, unsure) however I also know that not all universities are the same.
What about Employee Assistance Program? Does your workplace cover any T's under that?
