Y’all know therapy is costing mad MONEY these days so let’s talk about ways to access it without breaking the bank.

Here are some ways to get therapy for free or at a low cost:

1️⃣ Student Therapists – Before I started grad school, I didn’t even know this was an option! Student therapists have completed most of their program and are supervised by licensed professionals (kind of like medical residents). Sessions are much more affordable, sometimes even free.

2️⃣ University Wellness Centers – If you’re a student, this is GOLD. Most universities offer free or super low-cost counseling. Tap into those resources and take care of yourself while you study.

3️⃣ Community Organizations – Many groups (Black, refugee, newcomer, women’s centers, veterans, parents, etc.) offer free or low-cost counseling. Search for organizations that represent your community.

4️⃣ Employee & Family Assistance Programs (EAP) – If you’re working, check if your employer has one of these programs. They often cover a set number of therapy sessions for you and your family members.

5️⃣ Sliding Scale Fees – Don’t be afraid to ask therapists if they offer a sliding scale based on income. You’d be surprised how many are willing to adjust their rates to make therapy accessible.

Mental health is not a luxury, it’s a priority. Which one of these tips surprised you the most? Let me know in the comments! And of course, share this with someone who might need it.
