Hi,
>Does anyone have any recommendations on the type of counselor I should look for?<
Photogal7,
If you're paying out of pocket, be sure you look for a counsellor or counselling agency that provides a 'sliding scale' fee that's adjusted to your income.
Don't be discouraged if at first you don't get the right one - there are some bad ones, and you'll know by how you feel leaving the office. Try to get a free introductory sesssion. It took me a few years (YMMV), but the one I have now works out perfectly for just plain talk therapy AND the price is right.
good luck
