Three weeks!?!?!?!?!
That is crazy. When I was in therapy, when I first started anyway, I met my shrink twice a week. I can't imagine having managed to get through some of that without the very regular sessions. Even when we finally managed to get me down to once a week there were still times when I wished I could schedule an emergency session. I think considering the length there you made the right decision, that is a hell of a long time to wait. If you can find a more regular doc that would probably be very helpful.
The great thing about docs though, is they really do take your choice into consideration. Even though my therapist could not perscribe medications, she was very upfront with me in the first session, that if she felt I really did need something, she would have a second doctor sit in for a consult if she felt meds were required. I was very adament about not being on any kinds of drugs, and found a doctor that would not be able to prescribe, but even that did not completely eliminate the possibility.
Further, therapy, like anything else, requires time and patience. One should definately interview therapists to find one that will be right for you, and the free ones rarely are the ones you want to be seeing. You find one your comfortable with and you will know it. The results are truly worth it.
