I hope this isn't repetitive, I tried searching for this a couple different ways but nothing came up. If there was some discussion on this before just direct me to the right spot so I'm not cluttering up the forum!
So -- I'm about to start a Master's with the goal of eventually going into a doctorate... I like the idea of getting a "taste" for therapy and exploring any issues I have. What are your ideas on this and do you have any suggestions for how to go about finding a therapist? Should I wait until I actually get into my PhD program and learn about therapy?
I'm assuming I would probably opt for a psychotherapist as I don't have any glaringly huge problems that could be fixed by cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I am very interested in psychotherapy itself as well.
Obviously, a big issue is that I'm a student, and don't have a lot of money -- is it impossible to find a good therapist for an affordable rate?
Thanks in advance!
