On top of such, The treatment they offer is not free, and I really can't afford to prioritize it in my budget.

My only qualm about speaking in person is that I do not believe I will be able to allow myself to open up enough for it to be beneficial. I am not suggesting that I would like to receive treatment via the internet, I am merely asking what other options are there available to me.

Please understand I am not well versed when it comes to seeking therapy or what that would entail for me. I am just trying to find out all the ways I could receive therapy should I chose to consider.
all the colleges around here say the same thing you need to be referred by a professor, but this is the key that most students dont know.. they can be referred by their guidance counselor...thats the person you go to for things like what degree you are going for, what classes you should take, making sure your classes fit in with your degree choice, ...this person can also refer you to the colleges mental health /therapy department....

maybe yours can do that too.
Thanks for this!
