How do I find a qualified therapist?

Hi friends,

So I know this may seem like a silly question since we're fortunate to have a therapy platform right here on 7 cups, but I am broke and rely almost entirely on state insurance. I got assigned a clinic and have tried three different therapists from it. They were not qualified for what I needed and so now I am seeking a fourth. My insurance only covers that one clinic. Now I'm considering looking for a qualified out of network psychiatrist with sliding scale payment options. I'm going to have to scrimp and save and ask for help from my family but I really need the help and I can't wait any longer. Does anyone have any advice? I need a perscriber and a regular therapist who is experienced depression, trauma, and loss. I'm not looking for names, I just want to know what worked for you guys. How did you find a therapist that works for you? When and how did you realize the therapy was actually working?
