Therapy is helping but expensive

Started seeing a therapist 2 months ago to work through some stuff and it's genuinely making a difference. But man it costs a lot even with insurance. My company's FSA helps a little but I'm looking at like 200 bucks a month out of pocket. Worth it for my mental health obviously but with two kids and a mortgage it's tight. Anyone found affordable therapy options or worked this into their budget?

Two months in and already noticing a difference is huge. Most people quit before they even get there. Have you looked into your insurance coverage or are you paying out of pocket? Might be some options to help with the cost.

That's awesome you're taking that step. Yeah, it's pricey but honestly what's the alternative? I spent years just white knuckling through everything instead of actually dealing with it. Sounds like it's worth the investment for you.

Good on you for sticking with it past the initial awkwardness. The expensive part sucks but I've heard from a lot of guys that after a few months it really starts to click and make sense. Keep going.
