How does everyone afford therapy?? We get 6 free sessions but after that it’s all full price co-insurance till the deductible is met. Several thousands spent within a couple months before sessions become affordable..

How does anyone afford to get sick, medical or mental health? Insurance policy sucks, but most of us on here are still doing better than most.

It might be expensive, but it’s worth it if you feel better. Heck might even make you more productive at work, which in turn could drive to increase in income.

As far as I’m concerned it’s worth a few thousand dollars a year. It has very likely saved my marriage and I am much happier now. I wish I had started sooner.

Nah, therapy is for sissies. It's much better, not to mention cheaper, to just internalize everything and keep it bottled up.

Of course it's perfectly normal to have had your hair start turning white in your mid 20s, why do you ask?

Some therapists also price on a sliding scale depending on your income, and ive seen that be anywhere from $50-150 per session

Hi mck1 can you please tell me more? I recently lost my job and do not have insurance. Is the app providing any benefits

You can use your HSA funds to offset some of it if you really don’t have the cash.

You really shouldn’t touch HSA money unless it means you need to take out loans since it’s really a retirement fund.

OP - how do we get the 6 free sessions?

Thanks!
