I did have a therapist who was really good at listening to my ideas and listened carefully but it felt like I was paying a lot of money to have a philosophical discussion. So I started seeing if I could find other places where I could have these discussions.
You might try meetup.com... and/or do a google search for Philosophical Cafe's in your area.
