For the first time in decades, more people are seeking talk therapy over medication. The good news is there’s less stigma preventing people from accessing care. The bad news: A lot of people struggle to access therapy.

She is a psychologist in private practice in Chicago and a co-founder of the Psychotherapy Action Network. She spoke with The Metro's Robyn Vincent.
