I don't qualify for medicaid, I make so, so much money. The only community mental health center is tragic and their copay is as high as any other therapist I might find. No local universities that would have students either. If there was any possibility of talking with a therapist I would do it, believe me.

you are in the USA right? well heres something you might not be aware of... the USA now has a nationwide law stating all americans must have either private insurance, job related insurance or medicaid/medicare. all of which must have basic medical mental and dental coverage. Social services (medicaid) had to lower their income brackets allowing for those who did not have job related or could not afford private insurance. American's that do not get health insurance will soon be getting hefty fines. (the name of the law is the affordable care act otherwise known as Obamacare) the government website
https://www.healthcare.gov/?gclid=CM...FYOUfgod_YcA9Q
is open for new registrations for nationwide affordable healthcare insurance plans until February 15th.
suggestion contact your medicaid and medicare offices. They can tell you what your states new standards as of January 2015 are and how to get the right insurance plans for your needs and financial means. or click on the link.
once you get registered and have chosen the plan that fits your bidget and needs you will be able to look on that insurance plan to see what treatment providers you can choose from in the areas of medical, mental and dental health care.
