Common questions about accessing affordable mental health care
Start by searching for community mental health centers in your area, which often offer sliding scale fees based on income. Check if local universities have counseling programs where graduate students provide supervised therapy at reduced rates. Online therapy platforms like BetterHelp, Talkspace, or our free app can also provide more affordable options than traditional in-person therapy.
Sliding scale fees mean therapists adjust their rates based on your income level. You typically provide proof of income, and the therapist charges what you can afford. Many community clinics and private practice therapists offer sliding scale options—always ask when calling to inquire about services.
