OUR COMMITMENT

Access to care is not a privilege

When Unload was created, I placed resident therapists (those who are getting their master’s or PhD in therapy) in the practice. I remember the internship process very clearly, and I wanted to give back to my field by serving as a supervisor. It is my joy to usher in the next generation of therapists. And while doing that, I strive to ensure they have the latest education and can hold their own in the therapy room. All residents have been vetted and have undergone hours of training, both in and out of the classroom, before they sit with their first client.

Because they are still in training, we can offer their services at a lower rate than mine or our other licensed therapists. We do this because access to mental health care is invaluable. In addition, our licensed therapists hold a few slots a year for low-cost sessions.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Mental health care is a right
Cost should never be the reason someone doesn't get the support they need.

Community over profit
We invest in the next generation of clinicians while expanding access for our community.

Quality never compromised
Every session, regardless of rate, is professional and held to a high standard for quality of care.

Equity-centered practice
Marginalized communities are disproportionately underserved in mental health. We're changing that.

Our student clinicians are graduate-level therapists in training, completing their clinical hours toward licensure. They bring current training and real commitment to every session.

Each one is supervised by Roma Williams, LMFT-S, an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and follows the same standards for care, confidentiality, and safety as the rest of our team.
