If you are a grad student, is there an on-campus counseling center where you can see someone for free? Most colleges and universities have counselors on their staffs who will see you for at least a few visits without charging.
Also, I haven't lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 20 years, but at the time I lived there I remember there being a lot of free health care resources in the area. There were free clinics in Berkeley and Haight-Ashbury and there was also the Berkeley Women's Health Center. If anything like that is still around, they should be able to refer you to free or low cost counseling. Churches, synagogues, etc. also are often a good source of referrals for free or low cost counseling. There is a Catholic Charities in most major cities and they should operate on a sliding scale. A friend of mine (who is not Catholic) has received counseling through Catholic Charities and found it very helpful.
