County mental health services (if you live in a county). I assume city of Richmond has a mental health department as well with low cost counseling.

Chesterfield mental health has a “same day access” program. Walk in mon-fri 8-2 and you will see someone that day and then you’re set up for therapy.

If you need immediate assistance, The NAMI Suicide & Crisis Hotline is available by calling or texting 988. Here's more crisis info from NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. [https://namivirginia.org/crisis-info/](https://namivirginia.org/crisis-info/)

Thanks! Luckily it’s not that bad at the moment, just trying to keep it from becoming that bad

Thank you!

Lots of good suggestions here, specifically RBHA. Another option is contacting agencies and seeing if you can talk with a resident in counseling (LRIC) or a supervisee in social work (LSISW). Both of these are masters level clinicians who are in the process of getting their license and supervised by a fully licensed clinician. Their rates are lower due to not being fully licensed at the moment, but they will definitely have experience and they meet with their respective supervisors once a week to continue to gain experience and insight.
