I've technically seen 2 "counselors" and 2 "therapists." My first therapist worked with me with CBT for about a year and then finally said it wasn't working and referred me to someone else... even though we never did any of the activities he mentioned in our initial meeting like having a stranger come to the therapy session and have me try to talk to them, doing mock interviews, or doing group therapy. And about a month or two after I started seeing the second therapist I had to stop because my dad lost his job and it was too expensive.
I would love to get back into therapy; the problem is that I can't afford $120 every week, especially because I'm unemployed. I mean I think my parents could afford it but they don't think it's effective so they don't want to "waste their money."
What I need is to find a secular therapist who can address unresolved issues with religion and faith. Problem is I live in a very faithful state, so I'd have to drive ~25 miles just to find a therapist who may or may not work out.
