"Working with Open Path, I gain a way to give back to my community, as well as referrals for my low-fee slots."

We believe in this work.

Being seen by a therapist has the power to transform lives, heal families, and build communities. We believe that everyone should have access to affordable care. By joining 22,500+ Open Path therapists, you ensure we can provide mental health care to people in need.
