Khesed’s Give & Get Program

Would you pay more for therapy to provide free sessions for someone else?

Khesed Wellness believes that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care, regardless of ability to pay. We are inviting our clients to embrace generosity and support access to mental health therapy for all.

In the spirit of khesed, our Give & Get Program creates an opportunity for reciprocity among our clients.

How does the program work?

Including overhead fees, Khesed’s normal rate is $70/session. Clients can choose to pay an extra amount (like $85, $100, $125, or more) per session for a number of sessions of their choice. The amount less $70 per session will be contributed to our General Pro Bono Program to create free therapy sessions for clients in the future.

Why pay more?

Khesed exists to advance equity in mental health care. That means pricing our services at an affordable rate and prioritizing access for marginalized groups. Many of our clients qualify for pro bono sessions through one or more programs, and then transition to our affordable cash pay rate for ongoing care. By participating in our Give & Get Program, you can give back while caring for your own mental health.

How much money can we raise together?

One mental health therapy session at $140 provides one free session for another client. If just 15 clients opt-in to pay double our rate once a month for a year, this program will raise over $25,000 and provide 180 free sessions for clients in need.

I’m in. How do I get started?

New clients will be asked upon intake if they can afford our current cash pay rate of $70/session and if they’d like to participate in this program. Existing Khesed clients should notify their therapist that they’d like to participate, and agree on a rate and number of sessions they’d like to pay more for.
