Our Mission

The Let’s Talk Therapy Foundation is committed to enhancing the quality of mental health care by supporting counselors in their ongoing education, training, and professional development while expanding access to therapeutic services for individuals facing financial barriers to care.

Why support the Foundation?

Core Values

  • Mental health care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances.
    We are committed to reducing financial barriers and creating pathways for individuals and families to receive quality therapeutic support.

  • Better-trained counselors create better outcomes for clients.
    We support counselors in pursuing continuing education, specialized training, supervision, and professional development that strengthen the quality of mental health care.

  • Every person deserves to feel seen, heard, respected, and valued.
    We strive to support mental health services that recognize and respond to the diverse experiences, identities, cultures, and circumstances of the communities we serve.

  • People deserve care that recognizes the whole person.
    We believe mental health care should be grounded in empathy, dignity, understanding, and compassion rather than judgment.

  • Therapy can help people move from surviving to thriving.
    We seek to empower individuals, families, and counselors with the resources, knowledge, and support needed to create meaningful change.

  • Mental health care is stronger when we work together.
    We believe lasting change happens through collaboration among counselors, educators, community organizations, donors, and the people we serve.

    Access to care should not mean compromising quality.
    We are committed to supporting ethical, evidence-informed, culturally responsive, and effective mental health services.
