Why Affordable Therapy Should Be a Right, Not a Privilege

is a fundamental part of human well-being. Yet, for many individuals—especially immigrants and underserved populations—accessing quality therapy remains out of reach due to financial barriers. At GAB Community Institute, we firmly believe that affordable therapy is not a luxury, but a human right.

The Problem: Mental Health Inequality

In the United States, millions of people are unable to seek mental health support due to high costs, lack of insurance, and limited resources. This is even more prevalent in immigrant communities, where individuals may face additional stressors such as legal insecurity, cultural shock, and social isolation—yet still lack access to professional care.

Why Affordable Therapy Matters

• Promotes emotional well-being: Everyone deserves the opportunity to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health issues without financial strain.

• Prevents serious consequences: Untreated mental health problems can lead to unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, and physical health conditions.

• Strengthens families and communities: When individuals access therapy, they become more resilient and capable of contributing positively to their families and society.
  

How GAB Is Making a Difference

At GAB Community Institute, we are committed to making therapy accessible through affordable options:

• Individual therapy sessions starting at $20

• Group therapy programs tailored for immigrants

• Online sessions to eliminate geographic and logistical barriers

• Free workshops and mental health education
  

Changing the Narrative

Affordable mental health care should be the standard, not the exception. Every person, regardless of their income or immigration status, deserves the right to heal, grow, and feel emotionally supported.
