Counseling: You get what you pay for...

Answered by Scott Graham, MS, LADC, CCS

Question

Is there anywhere to get free or very low cost online counseling for anxiety? I don’t have a lot of money.

Hi,

The reality of counseling is that there are few options for people who don't have money -- or insurance -- to pay for it. (That is a commentary about health in general).

If you have no -- or very little -- money -- your best option is a community mental health center that has federal or state funding to supplement their budget.

Online you will find support groups -- like dailystrength.org -- but recognize that you are not getting professional help.

You might also post a request for a coach at noomii.com but recognize that coaching is like the Wild Wild West:  coaching is an UNREGULATED profession and ANYONE can claim to be a coach and claim to help you.
