Counseling Fees & Payment
Is it really free?
We View Therapy as an Investment in You & Your Community.
The simple answer is, yes. We believe therapy is an investment that everyone has a right to, so we intentionally do not bill insurance or charge fees for mental health, advocacy and wellness services. Too often, survivors face overwhelming obstacles to care: lack of insurance, high co-pays, managed care limitations, confidentiality concerns, or fear of retraumatization through bureaucratic and medically based systems. By removing these barriers, we ensure that safety, dignity, and healing remain at the center of the recovery and healing journey.
​​
Our ability to provide cost-free services is sustained through a blended funding model. This includes federal, state, local grants, private foundations, community and corporate donations, sponsorships, membership programs, and annual fundraising efforts. Every contribution—whether large or small—directly invests in healing for survivors and strengthens the circle of care that sustains our community. ​​
