After struggling for years, I finally found someone through Kaiser (my insurance company for those outside of west coast USA), and they were absolutely phenomenal. By some sort of fortunate occurrence, I started talking to them about 3 weeks before the COVID lockdowns. I don't know how I would have survived if not for him. Sadly, due to how Kaiser treats their mental health staff, they decided to move on (and leave practicing therapy). Since he was moving on, Kaiser booted me out of their services since I wasn't a case that necessitated emergency treatment (they are right, but I still needed to _talk to someone_). It's led me down a rabbit hole of trying to find various therapists. Most in this area are at capacity (naturally, everyone needs a therapist right now) or won't accept the third party service Kaiser partners through. I ended up doing Betterhelp for a bit and that was such a mixed experience. Therapists that are overbooked and just grinding (one told me they have 70 clients a week! Uh, what?!) and the support was just so sub-par. Specifically due to privacy concerns (and I think it's only a matter of time before these services have some sort of data breach), I registered with a throw away email, truncated my name, and generally just tried to provide very little identifying info. (I guess they have my credit card details. Oh, well)
