See Our Vision

Overhauling Reimbursement

Dangerously low reimbursement rates harm our patients and our practices – leading many to receive less care than they need, or no care at all. As independent providers, we know all too well that the reimbursement process needs a serious overhaul. Together we can streamline the process!

Ending the
Stigma

The stigma around behavioral health exacerbates symptoms and holds people back from getting the care they need. By increasing awareness, taking action and expanding access to behavioral health treatment we are making strides toward ending the stigma around mental healthcare once and for all. 

Fighting for
Affordability

Affordability is one of the primary barriers to access. Many people can’t afford to pay out of pocket, and without fair coverage the burden falls on providers to offer sliding scales or pro-bono services – or people simply don’t receive care. We are on the frontlines advocating for affordable care for every income level.
