Hi Katileena,

Are you in school? Many colleges offer services on campus.

Do you work but they don't offer insurance? Could you do that work for a company that does offer insurance?

Could your parents help with this expense?

Many communities have community mental health services that are inexpensive or free. They would be listed in your phone book or you might Google "mental health services in X" (X=your community).

Here is an article from the PC newsletter. The article is titled: Mental Health and Money: For Those Without Insurance, Try These Options

I hope this helps.
