I've considered getting free mental health from the health department through their healthy family program since my son is under 3, but they require that you sign this form that lets them check with the therapist they give you on how you are progressing in therapy and that makes me really nervous. And I'm not sure they health department in our town has the best therapists available for these issues I'm trying to work through or if these issues I'm dealing with are allowed by the program.

You can ask your therapist what they discuss (you can ask them but it is easier to ask the t). They probably just want to know you are going and working w the t. It isn't uncommon. You won't know if the t is any good until you talk to them. I would google "questions to ask a therapist" so you can better evaluate and don't be afraid to ask. If it is free what do you have to loose?
As far as books... Brenė Brown has TED talks and videos and books and there are t's that specialize in her work. Has been big for me.
Are you creative? "Standing at the waters edge" by Anne Paris is an excellent read.
