Therapy for All Fund
About the Fund
At Prismatic Compassion, we believe mental health care is a right, not a privilege. Unfortunately, many individuals face barriers to accessing therapy due to financial constraints, lack of insurance, or systemic inequities. These barriers disproportionately affect marginalized groups, including the LGBT2SQIA+ community, POC, ADHD/Autistic folks in burnout, and those living with chronic illnesses.
The Therapy for All Fund is our community-driven initiative to provide subsidized therapy sessions for those who need it most. Every dollar raised goes directly toward funding therapy sessions with our skilled and compassionate therapists.
Together, we can break down financial barriers and create a world where mental health care is accessible to everyone.
