About BIPOC Healing & Therapy Fund
Since 2019, Inclusive Therapists has prioritized mental health care access for Black, Indigenous and People of Color/Global Majority (BIPOC). We make it simpler and safer for people with multiply-marginalized identities to connect with culturally responsive, identity-affirming, collective-trauma informed mental health services. (e.g., 2SLGBTQIA+, Disabled, and Neurodivergent communities)
The BIPOC Healing & Therapy Fund is our co-creation: providing free, personalized mental health care services back to our communities.
Free therapy is one form of care, and we extend other community-centered healing spaces and collective care offerings too! Please sign up to our newsletter for updates on our latest offerings.

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.
How do you protect applicants' information and data?
We take data privacy very seriously. Here's how we safeguard your information:
- We use HIPAA compliant applications and storage to collect and store information obtained during the application process.
- If you are selected to receive funds, we need to retain some information from your paperwork to proceed to allot therapy services and funds, and for accurate documentation. Your information will be stored in a HIPAA compliant location.
- If you are not selected to receive funds, your application data will be permanently deleted at the end of the application cycle, typically 60 days from the cycle opening date.
- If you are not selected to receive funds but would like us to retain your data for future Therapy Fund cycles, you can request this. After the set period (as requested and consented to) has passed, generally up to 1-year, any retained data is also permanently deleted.
- We NEVER share or sell applicant data.
- We NEVER cooperate with police or ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
Your privacy and safety are our priority.
