Therapy isn’t something someone does to you that makes you better.
Therapy is an opportunity to get exquisite clear confidential listening, in a way generally not available elsewhere, and perhaps a little insight and mirroring, so that you can notice things about yourself, and develop yourself. Read the first part of Focusing by Eugene Gendlin, for more on that, a bit about how psychiatrists first figured that out, and then read the rest if you want techniques for doing it by yourself.
Psychiatrists can be worth it if you find someone who’s a good match. However there are also psychiatrists who won’t work well for everyone, and there are some who will prescribe you drugs, which may or may not be a good idea (I’d say drugs are almost always not a wise thing).
However there are also many far less expensive disciplines which can do the same sort of thing. Again, find ones that work well for you. Holistic Peer Counseling, Feldenkrais, meditation, yoga, cranio-sacral work, awesome wise friends and elders, etc.
