I can really sympathize with you. We have universal healthcare here, thank God, but therapy isn't covered unless it's with an MD. My psychologist is a PhD and so she's not covered at all, so I'm paying $160 / session every week. I know she does do some sliding scale work, but not much and the going rate for psychologists around here is about 150-160 per hour. Our local pyschiatric hospital offers free limited short term councilling for specific problems.

Women's centre's are also often a good resouce. They often run group therapy sessions or can refer you to low cost practitioners.

Good luck in finding help.
