Psychotherapy is an effective way to maintain mental health. However, often trips to a psychologist are expensive.

We have prepared for you 4 ways to get affordable psychological help.

Insurance

Check with your policy which services are included in mental health care.

Some therapists accept patients under insurance with a minimum co-payment.

In addition, ask if the company you work for covers the services of a psychologist.

Local Clinical Psychology Programs

Many clinics and colleges offer free programs.

Sometimes the prices are just much lower than usual.

If there are no programs, you can consult and find out how you can get help in your city.

Non-Profit Organizations

Some private companies are in the business of providing free or group psychotherapy to certain or all segments of the population.

In addition, check out mental health hotlines and social media.
