Reply to I think its sad how hard it is to find a therapist. by SameProfession254

It is very sad. Especially if you are looking for a therapist that takes your insurance. Many therapists stop taking insurance and only take private pay as soon as they can which is $100+ a session. I was looking hard in 2019. Called everyone. Even tried Sweetser. (Don’t try Sweetser). Eventually I found a counselor for $65 a session. But she was just talk therapy and couldn’t help with actual trauma. So I had to keep looking. I started seeing counselors at my university. I gave up for a while during the pandemic and then finally tried better help last year. I had the best therapist I have ever met through better help! It being online only made it better. I didn’t have to drive. I could message her at any time(which was the BEST). You can’t do that with a regular in office therapist. Plus no insurance bullshit. Just a monthly fee! (With that said BetterHelp has faced lawsuits for some unethical practices and some therapists on their site are shitty. I just got lucky!) but it is definitely worth a try if your mental health needs it.

Also, you can call around to therapists and ask if they do supervision. If they do, they might have students/associate therapists (still needing to take the exam) that could see you.

Reply to My turn! by weakenedstrain

I didn’t know people tried to scam on Reddit omg. They messaged me last week asking about the best places to visit in Maine. I responded and said Acadia but it’s pricy and they said thanks and sent me photos of some Asian lady in the tropics. So strange. I didn’t reply. Scammers are friggin strange.

Reply to Questions about attending graduate school at USM (Counseling) by retro-galaxy

SNHU is completely online and the cheapest in the nation. Easiest to complete with a full time work schedule. I’m currently debating whether do do the counseling program or another program.

Reply to Do you think LLBean boots are worth their hype? by Gilbert221

Nope. I bought some like 5 years ago because my feet were always cold. They were $200. I hated them. They didn’t keep my feet warm. I returned them and bought another pair of Uggs.

If I ever own bean boots again they’ll be thrifted or something I’m NEVER spending that much on ll bean shoes again.
