You could just run your own. There are plenty of open source models that don't answer to any company.

Why dont i just give myself therapy? I know way more about what is going on in my head than anyone else does.

Because what's going on in your own head a would taint your treatment plan and cause it the be a self-defeating plan.

Maybe one day that'll actually be possible.
