You can find therapist from other countries if you are comfortable speaking with them in english through video call. It may not provide the same experience but it might be better than the alternative which is no help.

I would check out eastern europe or Asia. They will cost around $15-25/hour.

Ask if they will take a sliding scale, most will.

Also if you can provide tech stuff (like a website or what not) see if they will trade in kind services.

As I posted above, German public insurance is required to cover therapy if your GP prescribes it. So you can get private therapy covered if public therapists are too busy to take you.

The process is roughly like this:

* GP prescribes therapy.

* You call seven public therapists who are busy and note their information and when you called. There's a specific form for this.

* You find a private therapist that satisfies certain conditions (e.g. degree granted in Germany) that is a good fit for you, and your public insurance is obligated to pay for your care.

Here's a long guide on it:

It’s for complicated reasons but I’ve been informed that’s not possible in my situation because I don’t speak German
