(something seemed off here. The woman
who answered the phone couldn’t hear me
because there was someone screaming in
the background and then laughed about it.
Kind of odd. The website goes on about
social justice and artwork and LGBTQ stuff
and nothing about standard therapy itself,
but according to what she said on the
phone, they offer both talk and CBT
therapy. So, not sure but they DO take
medicaid AND have immediate availability.
Maybe I just had a weird experience.
Couldn’t get them on the phone a 2nd time.)

NOTES: Some of the ones listed in the
2017 list have changed phone numbers,
different websites, locations, $ amounts and
other changes. I pulled all of this information
directly from their websites and nothing from
the original sheet. I recommended removing
some, and it might be a good idea to move
the ones with limitations or the more
expensive to the bottom of the list. The
answering machine ones I tried 2x and
couldn’t reach a person. I also didn’t focus
on weekend/weekday availability,
