Cost is one of the biggest reasons people put off getting support. A single unaffordable session can be the difference between someone reaching out and someone waiting another year. Open Path exists to close that gap, connecting clients with vetted therapists who set aside a portion of their caseload for reduced-fee work.

We've built our practice around meeting people where they are, so this partnership was a natural next step. It doesn't change how we practice. It changes who can walk through the door.

If you're already an Open Path member, you can book with any of our clinicians who list availability on the Open Path directory at your sliding-scale rate, the same clinical care, at a rate built around what you can pay.

If you're not a member yet but cost has been holding you back, Open Path membership is a one-time, low fee and takes most people only a few minutes to complete.
