I don't know. But I would start looking. Call churches. Pastoral counseling
was pay what you can afford for me. They didn't talk religion. Look for
non profit groups, state and county offices for programs. Ask librarian.
Hopefully you will find someone that is free or pay what you can afford.

One of my DS friends (lives in NYC) near to a hospital and gets free therapy. I don’t know how she qualifies. She’s very happy with her therapist.
You could try church or charities to refer you as suggested above.
I’m in the UK, we can get free therapy here on the NHS but it’s really limited. For a first referral, usually 6 sessions and usually cbt, which didn’t work for me. Plus there’s a waiting list of weeks.
I think the saying “you get what you pay for” May well apply here.
Good luck finding a good therapist.
