Warm welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.
Since 2019, Inclusive Therapists has prioritized mental health care access for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BI&POC).
We make it simpler and safer for people with intersecting marginalized identities (e.g., 2SLGBTQIA+, Disabled, and Neurodivergent communities) to connect with culturally responsive, identity-affirming care.
The BIPOC Therapy Fund is our co-creation: providing free, quality mental health therapy to our communities. The Service-Providers are liberation-oriented, professionally licensed, BI&POC community members.
We invite you to see the FAQ to learn more!

Free Therapy For People impacted by Acute Global crisis
We continue to advocate for Black, Indigenous and Communities of Color facing genocide, forced displacement, and violent exploitation.
The root causes of the crises in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Ethiopia, Haiti, Yemen, and other violently exploited regions are intertwined: white settler colonial capitalism, destabilization, and ecocide.
Our therapy fund is currently prioritizing people most closely impacted by these crises.

Can I work with my current therapist?
The intent of this Therapy Fund is to extend services for people that do not have access to therapy. We are prioritizing folks that do not currently have a therapist.
If you are working with a therapist and are seeking financial assistance, we encourage you visit Loveland Foundation and NQTTCN.
Do I have to pay out of pocket first?
You will not have to pay out of pocket. Our fund will pay towards the therapists' services directly.
How many sessions of therapy does this include?
This fund supports up to 12 total therapy sessions. Before or at the first session, the therapist will discuss a continuation-of-care plan with the participant after the funding concludes.
How does one select a therapist?
Our care team will thoughtfully match applicants with therapists that are the closest fit according to the preferences indicated on the application form. If the applicant and the therapist are not a good fit, we are happy to assist with making a different match.
Am I guaranteed to therapy when I apply?
Application does not guarantee receiving free therapy services.
Variables that are considered in the selection process include and are not limited to: applicant's location, applicant's preferences, and therapist availabilities.
All applicants will receive a response within 4 weeks on whether we are able to match them with an available therapist in this cycle. Applicants have the option to choose whether to be included in future cycles as they open up.
Can a previous Therapy Fund participant apply again?
Welcome back, and we hope that you recevied the care that you needed. While we understand that you may want to apply in the next cycle, we are prioritizing folks that have not received support for therapy in the past.
If you are working with a therapist and are seeking financial assistance, we encourage you visit Loveland Foundation and NQTTCN. Thank you.
