The closest thing to a therapist I've been able to find are "counsellors." Generally these are people who get about 6 weeks of training and just tell you to take medications and (in my experience) tell you the solution is to act like there's no problem at all.

I have a long history dealing with the joke that is the mental health system in this area. Unless a person is an extreme example of illness and acts on thoughts instead of just having them they pretty much treat you like there's nothing wrong at all. And if you are an extreme case they stick you in the psych ward and dope you to the eyeballs (thankfully I've never been on the receiving end of that).

Besides, I feel so much better doing my talking through a computer. It feels a lot less like there's someone judging me or that I'm wasting their time or like I'm being ignored.
