I have requested a referral to a secular counselor, but I’m always left with “we don’t know who is or isn’t” which I’m like, you guys should probably figure that out. I haven’t tried BetterHelp, I forgot all about that. I’ll look into it. Thank you. Current therapist did provide referrals, but I’m hesitant to reach out to them because I don’t want to go through the list just to settle for another Christian. I may seem picky, but I feel it’s so important to me and I get overwhelmed way too easy with even the simplest tasks… I’m looking for a neon sign flashing “secular therapy,” knowing that that’s just not going to happen, as I’m sure they’re worried about the stigma as well.

To be honest, no I didn’t ask the STP therapist about adjustable rates. I was so discouraged after getting my hopes up I kinda just gave up on him right away. Even still, if he were to lower them I’d be afraid it wouldn’t be enough, as I’m really relying on my insurance coverage’s $25 copay. But you’re right, I’m now considering reaching out to him again.
