Silly question: Why would getting psych help threaten your livelihood? I'm working on becoming an LPC, and it's totally accepted, though not quite mandated in my program, that getting into therapy is something just about everyone in the mental health field needs at some point. I would think that would be the case in your branch of the field as well, wouldn't it?

Where I live in Vermont, there is one main mental health facility for adults, inpatient and outpatient. Over the summer it was recommended that I have some inpatient help, but I couldnt because the only available spot was where I worked and that wouldnt be cool since i know a lot of people on the adult units ( i work on the childrens inpatient unit) For working in a psychiatric hospital the benefits for mental health are awful including prescription coverage, and with other situations I didnt even mention above, I just cant afford it. To pay a therapist $64 each week for a visit is just not in my budget. So thus why I am here. I have taken advantage of the employee assistance program offered at my work, but I feel like some boundaries have been crossed and even the counselor there said it isnt good to seek treatment at your place of employment.I just dont know what to do.....Im stuck.
