I think I need to go to a counselor but I do not have a lot of money. I have some health insurance so is there a way that I can use it and make a co-pay?
Or if anyone knows a place where women can go to get counseling when they are having issues with a man who has mentally abused them.

If your man is mentally or physically abusing you go to a Womens Center. Most cities have these centers that help women in any way. I used to sit on the board of one.
The Womens Center has counselors and they can help you if you want to change your life. This is a great first step.
Look in your phone book or call your Chamber of Commerce. They will have the contact for this center.
Also look in your phone book for abuse counseling or call your local Chamber of Commerce and they will refer you.
Or you can call a local Mental Health Facility and they will refer you to someone who can help.
Remember this is your life. It is important. You are one of a kind and important to you family and others. Do not ever let anyone steal your self-worth and happiness. Everyone has a real soulmate out there and maybe you have not found the right one.
You will learn from this experience but you must move on.

If you have insurance, you can go see a counselor with a copay. With most insurances you have to get pre-aproved, so find a counselor then call your insurance company. If there is a battered womens hotline or center in your area, most of the time they offer free counseling. I did this years ago when I was in an abusive relationship both physically and mentally. My biggest problem was not being able to talk about what was happening in front of other people, but after hearing everyone else it got easier. Just remember in situations such as this, it is never your fault, he is the one that realy needs the help. Keep your head up! This site may help you out with numbers and centers available. www.ndvh.org

There are plenty of places, if you have insurance counseling is covered by law and you just have to pay the co pay. A local hot line can refer you to agenciesin your area that specialize in that field. They are either non profit or government funded and work on a sliding scale fee (what you are able to pay) Most counties have victim rights groups that run centers to help with all the issues you are facing. Do not give up, just keep looking.

Contact your Mental Health Assoc. They will be able to find you the help you need and at the price you can afford. Group counseling is beneficial too. Another option is to go to your Dr. and tell him your problem and he will referee you to a qualified professional. Mental abuse I think is worse than physical. I hope you find the help you deserve. Do not give up your search., stand proud as you recognize the need for help! You have started the healing process already . A job well done!

look in the yellow pages and see if you have any kind of crisis centers in your area or even a group that meet a couple of times a month...i myself have been in abusive relationships that has left me mental unstable even though the relationship is over...it's best that you talk to someone about you issues ;)Good Luck

Find the Lord...there are so many good books out there...The Lord is the only person that can bring true healing to abuse...I don't know if you attend church...but even if you don't...there should be someone that would counsel you...sorry about the pain you are in...Be Blessed.
