Low Fee Therapy
Free 15 Minute Initial Video / Phone Call Consultation is available
We are pleased to offer pro bono (free) and reduced-cost psychotherapy sessions to make mental health support more accessible. These sessions will be provided by a psychology master’s practicum student under the close supervision of a licensed clinical psychologist.
Each client is eligible to receive two free therapy sessions. After that, clients are welcome to continue working with the same practicum therapist for a reduced rate of $60 per session, for as long as the clinician remains available.
​
This is a great opportunity to access high-quality, supervised care in a supportive environment at a significantly lower cost.
Who are Practicum Therapists?
​Practicum therapists are graduate students in psychology who are in the final stages of their clinical training. They are completing a supervised practicum placement as part of their master’s degree in clinical psychology. These therapists have undergone extensive academic coursework and are now gaining hands-on experience by providing therapy to clients under the close supervision of licensed psychologists. While still in training, practicum therapists are highly knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to supporting clients’ mental health needs using evidence-based approaches.
