Struggling to access therapy? You’re not alone. Let’s tackle these barriers and find solutions that work for everyone!
The Hidden Wall
Barriers to mental health treatment include cost, stigma, and lack of therapists. They stop millions from getting help every year.
Therapy Costs Too Much!
Sessions can cost $100–$200 without insurance. For many, that’s a month’s groceries. Cost is a top barrier to care.
Stigma Keeps Us Silent
Fear of judgment stops people from seeking help. 1 in 5 avoid therapy due to stigma, says the APA.
No Therapists Nearby?
Rural areas face a shortage of providers. Some drive hours for a session—or give up entirely.
Therapy on a Budget
Look for sliding-scale fees or nonprofits like Open Path. Affordable therapy is out there—don’t give up!
Talk About Mental Health
Share your story and support others. Normalizing therapy can break stigma—let’s make it okay to seek help!
