How to Find a Therapist If You're Poor and/or Neurodivergent and in Addiction Recovery

Trying to find addiction recovery support can feel overwhelming when you're poor, neurodivergent, or have never had to navigate the world of mental healthcare. In this episode, we talk honestly about how to look for a therapist when money is tight, the system is confusing, and the process itself can be overwhelming or retraumatizing. We also unpack something that doesn't get talked about enough: how to balance your emotional needs between yourself, your community, and a therapist.

This episode explores:

-Why and how we can balance community support, professional help, and emotionally regulating ourselves

-Step by step how to find, narrow down, and choose a therapist

-How to get insurance

-Options for people who cannot get insurance
