The US healthcare system is deeply unfair, especially for mental healthcare. As the therapist, I don’t take insurance and here is why: PPOs can leave clients paying out-of-pocket with risks of callbacks, third-party platforms, sometimes take their own cuts and insurance doesn’t cover everything plus they can misuse sensitive information.
Instead, I work on a sliding scale based on what clients can realistically afford, offering spots each month after covering my own household needs. And when clients’ situations improve many offer to increase their fee so I can support others.
It’s not a perfect system, but it’s one way to push back against the harm. What’s been your experience navigating mental healthcare? Drop your thoughts below. 👇🏼

In challenging times, collective care is our greatest strength. The small groups of people we can lean on and connecting with the larger communities, remind us that we are not alone. Whether it’s checking in on a friend, sharing resources, or joining your local social justice group these acts of care help us protect one another and build resilience. 💚

“Gaslight” the play was about a husband who dimmed the gaslight in the home and made his wife believe she was imagining it. It’s deliberately manipulative.
