What do you do if you can't afford therapy?

[Brem]

Therapy for many is a key thing to getting by in your day to day life. Some people rely heavily on therapy to help them with their mental illness or other such problems, but if you don't have insurance, or bad insurance, you're probably not going to find much options for cheap therapy. Therapy can be expensive, and sometimes it's not covered on insurance.

With that being said, if you're unable to go to therapy because you can't afford it, what do you do then? What are your options for therapy if you're poor?

If you can’t afford therapy, explore community mental health centers, online support groups, university counseling programs, or sliding-scale clinics. Many nonprofits and apps offer affordable or free mental health support, and self-help practices like journaling and mindfulness can also help significantly.
