• Our nonprofit serves clients who lack health insurance or whose health insurance doesn’t provide adequate mental health benefits. These clients also cannot afford current market rates for therapy.  

• Our counselors/therapists offer reduced-cost mental health services to clients who are financially qualified and eligible for this service. This provides uninsured clients, underinsured, low-income, or experiencing other financial challenges to access quality mental health services.  This is an alternative we offer based on the client’s ability to pay. We consider their financial circumstances and offer a significantly reduced rate per session.
