Some places are. I looked around until I found a community care clinic for people who don’t have insurance. It’s free. The university near me also offers free/low cost therapy. Years ago before we were married, my wife and I found couples counseling from an intern who was gaining experience at no cost to us.

I know everyone doesn’t have the same resources, but just wanted to point out that if someone gives up because they assume it’s expensive, they may not find the affordable options available to them.

Had I known about this group before… I saw a what looked like a 15ft tall yellow transformer made out of car parts in someone’s front yard in a small community in western North Carolina today. What a missed opportunity!
