IF YOU DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE
TherapySafetyNet provides free referrals for reduced fee psychotherapy to uninsured New Yorkers. If you are eligible for our services, please complete the application for prospective clients.
You may not be eligible for TherapySafetyNet if you have health insurance (see our resources for New Yorkers with health insurance), if your income is too high, if you are not a resident of New York State, if you are unable to afford the lowest fee on our sliding scale, or if you are not able or willing to provide proof of income eligibility.
