<human>: I'm posting this for my friend (calling her Allie)who doesn't use reddit, since I'm not sure where else to look.

Around the age of 12, my friend went through a traumatic sexual experience. She went through therapy at one point, but stopped after it turned into them not addressing the problems and medicating her. 

Her mother was always in the room during these sessions, and the psychiatrist ended up just telling her to listen to her mother and sending her on her way

Fast forward to now, Allie believes that the experience has been creating trouble in her life, and thinks that a psychologist may be able to help her. Her mother(who went through a similar experience around the same age) thinks that she shouldn't tell anyone about it, to keep it a secret, and to let her handle it.

There's also another issue; They don't have an excess of money, and don't have health insurance. I feel very bad for her, and want to help her, but I feel helpless. Does anyone have any advice?

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: My friend had a a traumatizing experience which she believes is still affecting her and giving her problems, but her mother doesn't want her to seek any help. They also have an issue with paying for it.
