Has anyone taken advantage of the firm offered counseling services? They seem like the best bet for me to get a therapist soon but I’m not 100% comfortable getting help for the problem from the problem.

Ask. Your. Doctor. Mine had a special program that expedited the search

I have, and it helped me immensely. What is giving you pause? Are you worried it's not fully confidential? Because, if so, I can assure you that's not the case.

This is so good to hear. Glad this perk helped you out when you needed it.

Definitely check with your primary care doctor. They can help you with referrals & often know who the best therapists are. If you don't have luck there, it might be worth it to try the services offered by the firm. They likely have counselors who understand the specific issues you're facing. But I understand your hesitancy.

I think it can't hurt. You're not locked down to one therapist just because you see them. Try it and see what you think, if it's too much to handle or makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, quit and try someone else. I think talking to your doctor is a great idea, as others have suggested.

I understand where you're coming from. However, you should give it a try. But check first about the confidentiality aspect before anything else.

I’d try psychology today. At least at my firm they only give you 7 (?) sessions which is not time to accomplish anything except get you finally comfortable and then have to find someone else.

Please no hate about being superstitious or not. I believe in my culture and a lot of these superstitions have meanings. Just can’t understand why certain things like weddings and house warming need to be on certain auspicious days

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?
1. Use trad. 401k to reduce taxable income now. Convert to trad. IRA once retired, then convert gradually to Roth IRA (ladder, SEPP, etc.) at lowest marginal tax rate
2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty
