Often times the most popular advice you will receive when you are experience distress is to “get counseling”. Being the practical minded individual that you are, this may not as simple or easy as it may sound, especially if you have a limited income. It may not be unreasonable to prioritize other necessities or expenses before seeking counseling.

While it may seem more cost effective to avoid therapy, it could mean more expenses in the long run. Any distress that you may be experiencing could become better or could become worse if left untreated. However, problems not properly addressed may become more severe in the future. Without properly addressing concerns, your marital discord could lead to an expensive divorce; your anger could lead to violence; and/or parental stress could even create a gap between you and your children.

The desire to take positive action for your problem may involve spending money. However, if you are seriously considering engaging in counseling, there are options to help you afford any professional expenses.
