Do You Need Assistance Paying for Counseling?

At Thumbs Up, we have a program that is built to aid individuals who are needing assistance paying for mental health counseling.

Our program is funded by members of the community who believe in supporting mental health care for all. To get started, select the counseling office of your choice, then fill out the form below.
