Psychotherapy Now

We are a 501c3 Non-profit organization based in Santa Barbara, CA dedicated to improving access to mental healthcare by covering the cost of therapy for those unable to afford it.

Mental Healthcare Is Out Of Reach.

The problem

  1. Therapy is cost prohibitive.
  2. The best therapists tend to not take insurance.
  3. Most reachable therapists are full.
