Reduced FEE program
Part of our mission at Aimee Barr & Associates is to help make therapy accessible for all those who are committed to their personal development and healing.
Psychological literature shows us that nearly 1 in 5 Americans will experience symptoms of a mental health condition each year. However, oppressive social work systems born from discriminatory policies have created obstacles for many communities. Research indicates that compared with people who are white, Black, Indigenous and People of Color are:
*Less likely to have access to mental health services
*Less likely to seek out services
*Less likely to receive needed care
*More likely to receive poor quality of care
*More likely to end services prematurely
These barriers in receiving mental health services are attributed to systemic racism, discrimination, and a lack of cultural competency on the part of mental health care providers. Our clinicians believe that real healing can only become available when practitioners make a commitment to acknowledge and dismantle these barriers. Our reduced fee program is created with the intention of better supporting clients to gain access to quality mental health services.
