Therapy is expensive but I think I need it

Been putting it off for years but I'm realizing I probably have some stuff I need to work through. Growing up my dad wasn't really emotionally available and I'm worried I'm doing the same thing with my kids even though I don't want to. Insurance covers a portion but it's still like 50 bucks a session. Anyone here found a therapist that actually helped? Is it worth the investment or am I just spiraling?
