Open Path Psychotherapy Collective is a nonprofit nationwide network of mental health professionals dedicated to providing in-office and online mental health care—at a steeply reduced rate—to clients in need.
For Therapists By Therapists
We were founded by a mental health therapist for therapists. We know that many of our fellow mental health professionals see clients on a sliding scale basis, and we want to make the process as streamlined and rewarding as possible for you.
Open Path generates referrals for your sliding scale slots, advertises your profile for free, and enhances your ability to serve your community.
Who Our Nonprofit Serves
Our nonprofit serves clients in financial need who are seeking affordable therapy. Open Path clients cannot afford market rates for therapy, lack adequate mental health insurance coverage, and have an annual household income below $100,000.
We help our members access their choice of affordable in-person and online care from a vetted mental health professional.
- In-person or virtual sessions are available
Open Path is intended for people who are either uninsured or underinsured or cannot afford to pay the full rate out of pocket.
One-time $65 membership fee
