Learn About Our Membership Fee

Why Do We Charge A Membership Fee?

Open Path Psychotherapy Collective is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides people in need with access to transformative and affordable mental and holistic health care. We envision a just, compassionate world where all people can easily access the care they need to thrive.

We use the funds we receive from your one-time membership fee to maintain and develop our website, recruit new therapists nationwide, and pay a just wage to our staff members. Mental health therapists in private practice can charge upward of $150 per session. Open Path is a collective of mental health clinicians practicing privately who want to offer a lower rate to clients who need the help, but can’t quite afford it. We’ll never ask for your financial records because we trust that if you’re seeking our services, it’s because you can afford to pay between $40 and $70–and because you can’t afford to pay more.

Because the fee is so low, after just one or two sessions, you’ve earned your investment back.

How Do I Pay the Fee?
Two Ways
  • With your credit or debit card. After you submit the client registration you will be prompted to pay the fee.
  • By check. If you would like to pay by check, you can mail it to:
    Open Path Psychotherapy Collective
    27 Church Road,
    Asheville, NC 28804

    After the check is in the mail, please send us an email at info@openpathcollective.org to let us know. Once we receive the check we’ll send you your member ID number so you can make your first appointment with your new therapist right away.
Is This Really Worth It?

We think so. Obviously we have a deep appreciation for psychotherapy and how transformative it can be in all of our lives. We don’t want cost to be a barrier in receiving the care that you want. We all know that therapy can be extremely expensive, even if one has insurance. The generosity of Open Path’s therapists makes it possible to see a psychotherapist that can help you for an extremely affordable rate.
