Low Cost Therapy for Caregivers

My third year of caregiving I had a mental breakdown, I hadn't dealt with the multiple losses, the death of my grandmother, and the transition from being a daughter to becoming a caregiver and the crazy amount I had accumulated as an unpaid family Caregiver.  At my lowest point I called a friend and they offered to pay for 3 months of weekly therapy sessions. Im forever grateful to them because For the first time I felt validated. Here are low cost or sliding scale options for therapy that you can use. I found my current therapist through one of these site, so I know they work. 

Caregivers spend an average of 21% of their income on a loved one, so here are a range of options from free to around $100. 

• Academy of Cognitive Therapy
• provides you with a listings that provide low cost cognitive therapy. 
• Open Path Psychotherapy Collective – affordable, in-office and online therapy sessions between $30 and $60-this one helped me find my current
• U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services health centers

Sometimes you don't realize you need to talk to someone about the thoughts in your head until you do it. I hope you take advantage of these options. 

Love, your Big Sis in Care
