Some therapists will offer sliding scale fees, depending on where you are located in the world, so it can be cheaper. Since he is working perhaps he can afford cheaper rates. Good idea to ask your own counselor about how to encourage him back into therapy. He really needs this, I think.
I know he's very against meds. I'm on Prozac right now, trying to work with providers to get on an effective medication. I've looked into places that have sliding scales, and there's only one place around here. I'm not sure how to encourage him into treatment, but maybe my counselor will have some ideas.
