I’d also love to learn more about increasing access for young people. I spent many years working with low income teens and unfortunately this pricing is entirely out of reach. Do you have any plans to offer free services for the young people most in need who could never afford to pay out of pocket.

I’ve also worked with young people whose parents, even if they could have afforded it, didn’t believe in therapy and weren’t willing to support their child’s efforts to obtain it. So yet another reason why access is super important.

Just as a reference point, I run OkaySo, we offer free support on sex, relationships, and identity to young people. Happy to chat and connect. elise at okayso dot co (not com)

Thanks for this work!

Thank you for your great comment and for your important work at OkaySo.

We recognize that our current pricing, while an improvement over private practice, is still out-of-reach for much of the country. Our plan is to: 1) continue to evolve the product to reduce cost of care while maintaining quality, 2) pursue partnerships with health plans and eventually Medicaid (which covers the lowest income teens) so that our services can be offered for free to those teens. We are very open to other funding models to increase the access of our services for teens as well! I'll reach out to learn more
