Affordable Counseling Option

We understand that not everyone can afford private psychotherapy, but we believe ALL individuals should have access to quality support and mental health services regardless of financial variables. While publicly funded mental health services are always a viable option*, at Bridges Counseling, we are committed to providing a lower cost option for our community within the private practice setting through our Clinical Internship Program.

​

Clinical Interns are aspiring therapists in training. They are Master's Level Students working toward licensing and are closely supervised by Bridges Counseling Owner & Director, Heather DiDomenico. Clinical supervisors are licensed therapists who help trainee therapists gain the skills they need to be effective therapists by meeting weekly to discuss the work they’re doing with their clients and give them feedback and guidance. The best part about our Affordable Counseling Option is that, in essence, you get two therapists invested in your well being!

​

If you don’t have insurance, or you find that your insurance doesn’t cover therapy, our Affordable Counseling option may be the right fit for you.
