I work at a KFC and help support my family with my $300 a week check while going to college part time. I literally don't have any financial way to afford a therapist. So what would I do?
I just happened on your reply. I'm afraid I don't have any easy answers here. But I wondered if you are familiar with transgender therapist Dara Hoffman-Fox's YouTube channel? Dara has many videos on her channel on trans-related topics. It's not a substitute for money to see a therapist in real life. But perhaps it can be of some small help. Here's a link to Dara's YouTube channel:

Beyond that, the only other thing that occurs to me would be, if there is some sort of LGBTQ center somewhere in your vicinity, you might contact them & see if they are aware of any options for free or income-based therapy services you could access.
