    Who can afford it? The expense is prohibitive. Usually experience is commensurate with price. Is there any solution – like therapy gemachs or something?

    many health insurance plans cover 10 or so sessions. Have you looked into that?

    Therapists are mostly good for unloading your wallets and pocketbooks.

    They are mostly ripoffs, preying on the misfortune of poor parents

    who are so desperate. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.

    Experience *should* be commensurate with price. Good, qualified therapists invest a lot of time and money into their training as therapists.

    There is an old joke about the computer technician who was called to an accountant’s office whose printer was not working. He discovered the cable was unplugged, and reconnected it. He handed the CPA an invoice for $500. The accountant asked him for an itemized bill. It read, “Plugging in printer – $5. Knowing what to do – $495.

    ?????? ????.

    I am currently in therapy to work on anxiety that I am experiencing and apparently build up over the years . It is a fortune but i do see it is a major help to me – this money can change someone’s lives and how they interact with those around them so in a way it is really money well spent

    There is no doubt it is expensive i was in therapy for like 4,5 years but it was a life altering experience, i learned to love myself in those sessions to realize i have something to offer even now 5 years after ive stopped it carries on with me it was the single smartest thing i ever did and worth every penny.

    I had a lot of childhood baggage to go through and through therapy i literally altered my whole perception of myself it was well worth the money.

    dhl144 -Yes, CHEMED in Lakewood is one of the clinics that have reduced rates. They have a few therapists, but are very booked up.
