Affordable Therapy in Austin
Getting help shouldn't depend on what you can afford.
Many people who need support can't pay for it. We built Hope For The Journey so cost isn't what decides who gets help.
When one person heals, their whole family feels it. Your gift is where that begins.

Donation FAQ
Questions donors ask us.
Anything we haven't answered? Call 512-400-4790 or email hello@hopeforthejourney.org.
We provide expert trauma-focused therapy to children, teens, and adults. Our clinicians treat anxiety, depression, and PTSD with evidence-based approaches like EMDR, and we specialize in complex and relational trauma, including sexual trauma and dissociation.
Healing from trauma shouldn't depend on your income. Alongside our full-fee spots we offer low-cost sliding-scale spots, provided by licensed professionals and advanced interns under expert supervision. Every client receives personalized support grounded in safety, trust, and cultural humility.
Not directly. We provide superbills so clients can use their out-of-network benefits, which keeps care private and lets us treat the whole person rather than an insurer's checklist. Your gift is what makes the sliding scale possible in the meantime.
Many trauma survivors delay care because of cost or lack of access. Your support closes that gap — making healing possible for more families in our community. When people heal, they show up differently in their homes, workplaces, and relationships. They make the world a better place.
Donate — every dollar supports someone's journey toward healing. Sponsor a session — cover the cost of therapy for someone who can't afford it. Spread the word — share our work with your community or workplace. Healing changes everything; you can help make it possible.
Our licensed clinicians charge $145–$200 an hour depending on experience, and our master's-level interns see clients for $50 a session. Your gift helps people get expert care they otherwise couldn't afford.
