Open Hands is a California nonprofit removing the cost barrier to mental health care, one person at a time.
Therapy shouldn't depend on what you can afford.
Graduate-level therapists under licensed supervision, $30 a session, in English and Spanish, virtual across California.
We work with individuals and couples, across languages and faiths, meeting people where they are: financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
-
Our therapists are graduate-level clinicians completing supervised hours toward licensure. Every session is guided by a licensed clinical supervisor. This model keeps costs at $30 per session while delivering real, evidence-based therapy, not a watered-down version of it.

Frequently Asked
-

-
No. Every session is $30, flat. No insurance needed, no copays, no surprise bills. We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so the low cost is the whole point.
-
Fully HIPAA compliant. What you say stays between you and your therapist, with the same legal protections as any licensed practice.
-
Not at all. We're a Christian nonprofit, but therapy here is never prescriptive. All faiths and no faith are welcome. Your beliefs are yours.
-
That's more common than you think, and it's usually about fit: the wrong therapist, the wrong approach, or the wrong time. We start with a free consultation specifically to get the match right.
-
Some people notice a shift in 6 to 8 sessions. Others stay longer. There's no set timeline. You go at your pace, and your therapist adjusts with you.
