I had a similar experience. After my dad died, I thought it might help to talk to someone. My EAP benefit turned out to be useless. There’s a shortage of mental health professionals that didn’t exist before—or at least was made much worse by—the pandemic.

The shortage is more in mental health professionals who take insurance. If your willing to pay full fee and then submit a super bill to your provider to get part of the cost back, you'll find therapists fairly quickly.
