Money to Pay Your Shrink
Many people are suffering needlessly because they think they cannot afford to see a mental health professional. It is estimated that over 38 million people think that they cannot afford the high cost of mental health care. Before all hope is lost, here is a list of options: Private Health Insurance-Most health insurance policies also cover mental health care cost. Contact your insurance company to see what your plan has to offer. Community Mental Health Centers-These centers often offer services for free or on a sliding fee scale. Religious Organizations-Many churches, synagogues, and other religious agencies offer pastoral counseling. If you have Medicare or Medicaid, mental health services are covered.
