Affording Therapy: Resources to Help You Get Started
Cost Shouldn't Be the Reason You Keep Carrying This Alone
If you've been putting off therapy because of the price tag, you're not alone, and you're not out of options. Many of the women I work with come to me after years of wanting support but assuming they couldn't afford it. The truth is, there are organizations doing real work to close that gap, especially for Black women and women from marginalized communities.
The Loveland Foundation
The Loveland Foundation provides therapy vouchers covering up to 12 sessions with licensed, culturally competent therapists. Their Therapy Fund sign-up opens quarterly, and recipients are matched with providers who understand the lived experiences of Black women. Since its founding, the fund has provided over 152,000 hours of therapy nationwide.
Beyond their own fund, the Loveland Foundation also connects visitors with other trusted directories and financial assistance programs for therapy. So even if their fund isn't open when you're ready, they can point you toward other options.
For: Black women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals
Open Path Collective
Open Path is a nationwide nonprofit network of over 35,000 therapists who offer sessions at deeply reduced rates. After a one-time $65 lifetime membership fee, individual therapy sessions cost between $40–$70 per session — significantly less than the typical $150–$200 market rate. They serve people who are uninsured, underinsured, or simply can't afford full-fee therapy. You can search by location, specialty, and whether you want to meet in-person or online. It's not free, but it's a real bridge for anyone where full price isn't possible.
Who it's for: Anyone in the U.S. experiencing financial barriers to therapy, regardless of race, gender, or background.

And one more thing...
I also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who demonstrate financial need. If cost is the thing standing between you and getting started, I don't want that to be the end of the conversation. Reach out. We can talk honestly about what's possible. No judgment. No pressure. Just a conversation.
