OpenCounselling
At OpenCounseling, we believe that financial and geographic barriers keep far too many people from getting the care they need. People who are already feeling vulnerable are often discouraged when they try to get help but can’t find a local therapist who accepts their insurance plan or offers affordable rates. This can turn people away from therapy when they need it the most.
