Affordable Support for Your Well-Being

We understand that metal health is a priority and  there is a need for affordable mental health therapy services.  Without health insurance or the ability to afford our regular fees, it can create many barriers for families and individuals.  Because your mental health is worth investing in, we are committed to providing affordable access to the professional services you deserve. Our fees directly support our ability to offer counseling services to individuals and families in our community. We strive to make mental health care accesible to everyone, and our fees are designed to ensure that cost is never a barrier to receiving support.  Therefore, we offer counseling services at the following rates: 

• Individual Therapy Session: $30.00 (per session)
• Couple/Family Therapy Session: $60.00 (pers session)
• Group Therapy Session: $10.00 (per session)

TGHF understands that everyone’s situations are different and we believe in the empowerment of the community and its members to work hard and thrive in their labor. With this in mind, we offer a “Pay What You Can” service for individuals who can pay something, if not the original rate, for mental health care. Individuals and families who are receiving this service may visit with a TGHF counselor for a total of 6 sessions. 

“Pay What You Can” services are based upon a counselor’s availability and a minimum of $5 must be agreed upon when accepting this option.
