Dear@mcri, I just saw your post and I just had to respond. There are many wonderful counselors, therapists, social workers, pastoral counselors, and psychiatrists out there. To find the right "fit" takes time. You must investigate and even interview!
After all, you will be seeing this person for a pretty decent amount of time. It's not necessary for therapy to drag on for years. But what is necessary is for you to gain credible references from friends who have been their patients.

If they take your insurance, that is great. It's better than having to pay out of pocket every time. But if you should find say, a Pastoral Counselling Center, and they take cash, you will find they are more short term. Generally, their treatment plans will not last as long, but they will give you many tools to take with you.
So there are different options available. And different support groups that don't cost anything. CoDependent Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Celebrate Recovery, and other groups meet regularly. I assure you that you will find lots of people who have
been through many of the very same things that you have endured.

You are to be commended for reaching out. It is not easy to take the steps toward healing. It takes courage, and you have already shown that by coming here. You will find that there are so many people who understand your feelings and have lived with many of the same circumstances that you have. You are not alone. Talking about what bothers you is the first step I am sending you safe hugs. I hope that you can find some more time soon where we can talk. Blessings to you!
Mamacita.
