The price tag on that therapy, for one.

Legitimately, it's one of sickest jokes about this country, that you can spend an hour with a therapist working on improving your mood, walk out of the session, and have it immediately undone when the receptionist tells you what the copay is.

100% agree that it's fucked up, but also you should check on if there's some sort of a community counseling program. I know where I live they do community counseling and it's sliding scale down to $5. I really wish that was more places

Those community counseling programs tend to be absolutely overwhelmed and have very long wait times.
