has anyone used the counseling services at flamingo? I can’t see my therapist while on my college program bc of insurance issues and I thought I would be fine, but I have a few months left and I’m in one of the worst depressive episodes of my life

I believe there are multiple therapists. Mine’s initials are LK. She is pleasant and my sessions with her were helpful for the smaller scale problems I was facing. If you have some very underlying traumas or mental conditions (like myself), they are not that skilled at digging any deeper than the surface level on those. Just a heads up. But still worth trying.

I cannot comment on what #1 was saying because I made it very clear (and it was true) that I still wanted to live bc I had reasons to do so, but that it was something it felt like was being whispered in my ear by my head/depression even though I didn’t want to do it.
