Pro Bono Counseling Project With MHAM
The goal of the Pro Bono Counseling Project (PBCP) is to increase access to mental health counseling for individuals, couples or families who do not have insurance or are otherwise unable to afford mental health counseling.
This is a short- term counseling arrangement (up to 12 sessions within a 3-6 month period) with a volunteer licensed mental health professional at no cost to the client.
PROGRAM Qualifications
Short term therapy is a great service for individual, couples and families with acute problems.
Once your application is received, it will be reviewed to make sure you are a good candidate for this project. We consider employment and insurance status, as well as financial stress and the type of problem you are hoping to address with a therapist.
As the therapist is donating their time, it is expected that the client does their best to keep scheduled appointments. The therapist may choose to terminate the service after multiple missed appointments. If the assigned therapist or applicant determine that the client needs will not be well met by the therapist, the PBCP will assist in connecting the client with another therapist or service.
