Why does this program exist?
When our Founder & CEO was a graduate student early in the pursuit of their clinical mental health career, they needed counseling support and quickly realized they were unable to afford it. Unfortunately, their story is common.
They were able to receive the support they needed because of a therapist who offered them free services. Since that experience, Lundy has been on a mission to make mental health and wellness services affordable for the underinsured.
How does this program work?
Built on the philosophy that living kindness spreads, Khesed provides 10% of our services for free to those who do not have sufficient coverage and cannot resource our $60/hour fee.
Every six months, we review the previous six month’s revenue and allocate an equivalent of 10% to free services for the following six months. We also review our program utilization to ensure that clients who have a spot in the program are actively receiving therapy. When a new spot opens up, we review our waitlist and match each new client to an available therapist who is the best relational and therapeutic fit. Each participant will receive a number of sessions matching their needs and our availability to be as generous as possible.
How can I sign up?
If you’re interested in participating in our General Pro Bono Program, call us at (720) 575-9889 or fill out a contact form. Someone will be in touch with you within 72 business hours to determine your eligibility and find the best program fit for you. Khesed strives to be as generous as possible, which is why we offer numerous programs that provide free sessions and invite our clients who qualify for multiple programs to take advantage of them.
This program continues to grow with us as we grow, but we do have a limited number of spots available. If you are placed on the waiting list, we offer a weekly Pro Bono Support Group for current and waitlisted clients. Each group covers a unique topic facilitated by a Khesed therapist. The topic for January & February is Positive Psychology: Cultivating Wellbeing.
