Open Path Collective is a nonprofit directory (40,000+ vetted therapists) that connects clients in financial need with affordable, sliding-scale care. Listing is free for therapists, but you must agree to offer sessions at a reduced rate (roughly $40-80 per session; student interns lower). Clients pay a one-time lifetime membership fee (~$65) and self-certify financial eligibility. Membership also unlocks discounts on tools like SimplePractice, TheraNest, and Brighter Vision. Best for therapists with open slots who want to fill them while giving back; not a full-fee channel.
