How It Works
Meet Maria*: how the gap gets closed
*An illustrative example based on the clients MHI serves.
Maria has been in therapy for six months, working through anxiety that was affecting her sleep and her job. Her sessions cost $85. Her insurance covers part of it — but after her deductible, she's left paying most of that out of pocket. Some months, she can. Some months, she can't. When she can't, she skips the session. She’s faced with the dilemma of cutting back her therapy, or trying to foot the bill. That’s where MHI comes in.

Her therapist isn't asked to lower their rate to make this work. They're paid the full $85 — $35 from Maria, $50 from MHI donors — which is part of why they're able to keep taking on clients who need this kind of support.
