Founder & Executive Director at Therapy Aid Coalition - Monterey, California, United States
We are a collective of 3500 therapists across all 50 US States. We offer pro-bono and low-fee online therapy to essential workers during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Therapy, whether online or in-person, can be quite expensive. Even for those insured, high deductibles and challenges finding an in-network therapist with availability can be obstacles. Many directories produce pages of therapist listings, leaving the person in need of help to sift through them.Each of the 3500+ therapists involved in this initiative are licensed, insured clinicians in private practice. To thank essential workers for their part in keeping all of us well during this pandemic, each participating therapist is offering four online sessions at discounted rates ranging from $0-$50 per session. We have created an algorithm to match essential workers with the three closest matches, in order to simplify the process, and quickly get essential workers the support they need.Coronavirus Online Therapy is 100% volunteer-created and run. We do not charge a fee for this connection service. We exist solely to connect those in need during this global pandemic, with licensed therapists nationwide who have made this promise to reduce their fees or offer pro-bono sessions.
