CREATING PATHWAYS TO EQUITABLE CARE
Making therapy accessible, affirming, and a path toward collective healing.
Yes We Go to Therapy strives to break down barriers to mental health services by providing financial support, advocacy, and education, empowering individuals to seek and receive the care they deserve.
We envision a world where every individual, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, has the opportunity to thrive mentally and emotionally.
We aim to create a society where culturally responsive and culturally relevant therapy is recognized as a fundamental right, and where the stigma around mental health is eradicated in all communities.
The Heart of Yes We Go to Therapy
Yes
A bold affirmation that challenges stigma and acknowledges that mental health care is necessary, valid, and beneficial. It pushes back against hesitation, shame, and cultural barriers that often discourage individuals from seeking therapy.
We
A collective statement emphasizing community, representation, and inclusivity. This word speaks to the shared experiences of underserved and underrepresented groups, reinforcing the idea that mental health is a communal priority, not just an individual one.
Go
An action-oriented word that normalizes therapy as part of a healthy lifestyle. It implies movement, accessibility, and commitment, reinforcing that seeking help is a proactive and powerful choice!
to Therapy
The heart of the message, explicitly naming therapy as a valuable and necessary resource. By saying “therapy” outright, this name works to destigmatize mental health care, making it clear that professional support is something people deserve, not something to be ashamed of.
Founder's Story
My journey to becoming a fully licensed clinician was not easy, it took nearly 10 years. After graduating with my degree in Counseling I wanted to be fully licensed as a therapist, but I couldn’t fathom paying for both supervision and childcare.
Childcare won, and my dreams of becoming a licensed therapist had to be put on the back burner. That reality is not unique, it’s the story of so many aspiring clinicians who are forced to choose between their families, financial stability, and their calling to serve.
When I opened my private practice, in 2016, I thought the hardest part would be building a caseload. What I didn’t expect was how isolating it could feel as a Black woman therapist searching for community, mentorship, and culturally responsive trainings. Too often, I found myself in rooms where my perspective wasn’t represented or where the training didn’t match the realities my clients and I lived every day.
Additionally, I sat with people who bravely came to therapy ready to do the work, only to have to pause their sessions because January 1st brought a new insurance deductible they couldn’t afford. I witnessed clients lose access to mental health care when a job loss also meant the loss of insurance benefits. Anyone that knows me can tell you that I am a problem solver and if I cannot find a table, I will find a way to create one. The table that I wanted to create did not just include a seat for me, but plenty of room for others to sit and feast.
Yes We Go to Therapy was born out of those stories and the belief that access to therapy, community for clinicians, and culturally grounded training should not be a privilege but a right.
This mission is personal. It’s about ensuring that people, no matter their background or circumstances can say “Yes, we go to therapy” and truly mean it without shame or barrier. My hope is that this movement helps reshape the landscape of mental health so clients always have access to care, and clinicians always have the support they need to thrive.
Why Support Our Core Programs

Here’s What Participants Are Saying
"Connecting with other clinicians has been the most valuable to give me insight into the greater field of counseling psychology and the different professional experiences one can have. The diversity within the group has been wonderful to be a part of."
"In my perspective, the meetup is about building a connection and networking with other professionals, who can relate to the difficulties in navigating through this field. I find it beneficial because it provides an added guidance beyond my educational studies and work. We are able to have discussions that don't feel like there’s limited information."
"Building the client avatar was and still is helpful to establishing my ideal client. As a part of this journey towards LPC this is something that I want to have clearly defined."
"The meetup allowed me to focus on new ways to discuss and incorporate cultural competence into my staff training sessions."
