I've come to the realization that I can no longer hide from the fact that I need counseling/therapy in my life. I've been drowning for quite a while and it is time to start working on myself.

That being said, I'm square one, and not sure where to go from here. I am on Medicaid and money is tight, which makes me wary of finding the "right" fit. What do I do? Cold call the offices that accept medicaid? Just go through my local university's grad program?

How do you find the therapist that you currently use?
