"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.
Applicants must be a licensed or provisionally licensed (Pre-Licensed/License Eligible) mental health clinician with a graduate degree in psychotherapy, counseling, or a related field from an accredited institution
We also accept student interns (master's level) with a copy of their current, unofficial transcripts and their signed supervision contract for their internship. Students who are enrolled in classes only and not a practicum/internship are not eligible.
