Tired of feeling like shit but can't afford therapy?

Finding a good therapist is hard. Finding a good therapist you vibe with—and who won't break the bank—is even harder. In This Book Is Cheaper Than Therapy, seasoned therapist Liz Kelly brings the therapy office to you. So even if money is tight, your insurance doesn't cover therapy, you can't find quality practitioners in your area, or you've been stuck on a therapist's waitlist for months, you can still feel better now.

With her cheeky humor, undeniable wit, and perfectly timed f-bombs, Liz has a talent for explaining complex mental health concepts in a way you can understand and can put into practice immediately. And don't worry—at no point in this book will you ever hear the phrase "healing journey," "your truth," or any other over-used therapy platitudes.

Imagine if Tina Fey were your best friend and next-door neighbor . . . and she also just happened to be an experienced therapist. It is possible to feel better—just take that first step and let Liz be your guide.
