Resources
You don't have to figure it out alone
Finding support can feel overwhelming. We're here to make the next step a little easier. Whether you're looking for a therapist, affordable care, community support, or resources for someone you love — start where you are.
In crisis? Call or text 988 anytime, day or night.
Start where you are
You don't need the right words or a diagnosis to get help. Pick whatever sounds closest to where you're at.
Browse the therapists and practices we work with.
Free, confidential support available 24/7.
Sliding scale, low-cost and free options.
Care rooted in your culture and community.
How to show up without burning yourself out.
That's okay. Start here.
I don't know what I need
Most people don't show up knowing exactly what they need they just know something feels off. That's enough to start.
If you're not sure where to go, try this: if you're in immediate danger or can't keep yourself safe, start with the crisis resources above. If you've been carrying something heavy for a few weeks or more, talking to a therapist is a good next step. If cost is the thing standing in your way, we've pulled together affordable options. And if none of that fits, reach out to us and we'll help you figure it out.
Our Mental Health & Wellness Partners
These are practitioners we've connected with directly people doing real work in our community. Each one operates independently, so reach out to them the way you would any provider: ask questions, check fit, take your time.
You deserve support right now
These lines are free, confidential and available 24/7. You don't have to be in danger to call — you're allowed to reach out just because things feel like too much. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911.
Reaching out is not weakness. It's the plug.
Wellness & Personal Growth
Support focused on growth, mindset and self-understanding. Not clinical treatment a different kind of help, and sometimes exactly the kind you need.
Growing our network if you're a mental health professional who wants to be part of this, we'd love to hear from you.

Therapists, directories and community spaces where our experience is the starting point, not a footnote.
Affirming care and crisis support for queer and trans people of every age.

Navigating your twenties, your first job, your first therapist, your first everything.
Care you can actually afford
Cost is one of the biggest reasons people never start therapy. It shouldn't be. These are real ways to get support without paying full private-pay rates and no, cheaper does not mean lesser.
Many therapists adjust their rate based on your income. It's normal to ask and asking doesn't put you at the back of the line.
Graduate programs and training clinics offer sessions at significantly reduced rates, with licensed supervision behind every session.
If you have coverage, therapy may cost less than you think. We'll walk you through how to check.
Publicly funded centers that serve people regardless of ability to pay.
Peer-led groups for grief, recovery, anxiety and more. No cost, no insurance, no referral.
State and local programs specific to where we're based.
