hi monroe,
glad you like my nickname
i like it too.
each state has a crisis center, funded by grants, where survivors can speak to a counselor regardless of their ability to pay. i did a quick search online and found one in Dickenson, ND, dunno how close that is for you but the point is that they have trained specialists and since they get funding through grants you could see someone for free. or at least they would have a sliding scale.
the other option... i checked here
http://www.shamanicteachers.com/ and i searched for your state but there weren't any listings. even so, you can find shamanic practitioners on the internet and many of them will do a session over the phone (the healing that they facilitate occurs outside of a strictly physical reality, so physical distance is not a problem for them). soul retrieval is a very common shamanic practice, so really it's just a matter of finding a practitioner who feels right and who will give you a reasonable price for the work. if you click on that link at the top of this paragraph it gives you info about finding a practitioner that's right for you.
soul retrieval addresses the spiritual aspect of disharmony instead of the emotional (therapy) or the physical (medical docs). the shaman goes into a light trance and takes a journey into the non-physical realms to find any missing soul parts, then the shaman returns them to the person. the shaman may offer info about what he/she saw on the journey, ideas for welcoming home the returned essence, or other ideas that would be helpful for where the person is at on the path of life.
this process may sound quite strange, but it is not fake. a shaman can return the missing part of essence, and this is an incredibly healing thing, but most practitioners would still suggest finding someone to talk to so you can get any support you may need, and to help you examine anything else that comes up for you.
another fairly simple way to address the blues is the get regular exercise. even a brisk walk once a day, some place safe and preferably natural (like a park or a track at a school) is even more healing.
so i hope i have given you some helpful info about soul retrieval. i realize it may sound weird but i hope that doesn't turn you off to the idea. i suggest looking online to see what you can find. here's a list of search results to get you started:
