However, as you mention, good therapists can also be found in churches and low-cost family service agencies. The most crucial aspect, IMO, is to ensure that the "fit" is good between yourself and the therapist. Otherwise you may be squandering the good will in the relationship. I usually encourage people to shop around -- not just for the best "value" monetarily, but for the best fit.
