As an additional practical tip I'd like to add that as with drugs, you might have to try more than one therapist before you find one that works for you. The first therapist I saw, when I had my most severe problems with depression, completely blew me off. (Like you, I went to my university's mental health clinic, but I don't think the guy I spoke to was very into his job.) I didn't try therapy again until ten years later, when my girlfriend dragged me into couple's therapy and I realized I could really benefit from individual therapy with the right person.
