Counseling Funding Resources

To help address accessibility and the financial barriers of mental health care, I am sharing resources and opportunities to apply for financial assistance for those that need help with paying for therapy. I do not benefit from sharing these resources in any way though I may be a provider for the organizations. This is not a comprehensive list. (Applying does not guarantee that you will qualify.)

To Write Love on Her Arms: Treatment and Recovery Scholarship Fund Scholarships typically offer, on average, three to six months of mental health care. Scholarships typically fund individual therapy sessions at a rate of $65-$100 per session. Any additional cost of treatment is the applicant’s financial responsibility. They are currently unable to assist with the cost of more intensive services like intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living, or other higher levels of care.
