YES I DO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE ITS JUST GONNA BE 20 BUCKS EACH TIME I SEE THE THERAPIST I am a therapist psychiatrist. Therapy is very expensive but if you need to work through some problems it is worth every penny. Just be sure you pick a therapist you trust and feel comfortable with and it should improve your life and help you find coping skills to enable you as you grow. Let them know you are paying for it yourself. Good luck. Talk to your guidance counselor about therapy. Moving out on your own is hard, and if you do it very young it could set you back quite a bit in life. Stay home, get the job, save all your money, hit the road when you're 18 if you still feel the same. wow...my first question is why is therapy first on this list??? Do you have health insurance? See if the insurance will cover some or all of the cost of therapy. Ask your general doctor about it.
