TAP: Therapy Access Programs

Professional Mental Health Support When You Need It Most

Life doesn't pause when insurance runs out or circumstances change. The Therapy Collective's Therapy Access Programs (TAP) provide high-quality mental health services to people who need professional support but face barriers to accessing it—whether due to limited insurance coverage, financial constraints, or life transitions that strain existing resources.

Many Programs, One Mission

TAP participants receive therapy from advanced clinical interns - students in their final phase of training who work under direct supervision from our licensed clinicians. This isn't crisis intervention; it's quality psychotherapy that addresses the unique challenges each person faces. TAP includes two specialized programs designed to meet people where they are, plus group therapy options for those who benefit from community-based support:

Therapeutic Support for Lives in Motion

PIVOT Program

Community-Based Support Through Shared Experience

In addition to individual therapy through ANCHOR and PIVOT, TAP offers group therapy options facilitated by our licensed clinicians. Group therapy provides a unique opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges, build community, and develop skills in a supportive environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Both ANCHOR and PIVOT operate annually from October through April, aligned with our clinical intern training cycle.

  • There's no formal application process. TAP enrollment is integrated into our regular intake process and operates on a rolling basis—if you meet eligibility criteria and we have capacity, you can start right away.

  • Capacity depends on the number of advanced clinical interns in our practice each year and their current caseloads. We accept participants throughout the program period as space becomes available.

  • Each participant is eligible for up to 40 sessions over a period of 8 months, depending on session frequency (2x weekly, weekly, or bi-weekly). Transition planning begins in the final 4-6 weeks.

  • Yes. Participants who have found therapy valuable and whose circumstances have stabilized can transition to working with one of our licensed clinicians. Standard rates with licensed TTC clinicians range from $125-$200 per session. Former TAP participants who secure employment with insurance benefits may find that their new coverage makes continued therapy affordable. TTC also offers some flexibility for former TAP participants making this transition, recognizing that stabilizing after major life changes takes time.

  • Contact us anyway. While TAP operates on this annual cycle, TTC provides year-round services with our licensed clinicians. We can discuss other options that might work for your situation.

Regardless of which pathway you choose after completing ANCHOR or PIVOT, you remain part of the TTC community. If circumstances change—if you transition to different roles, experience new caregiving demands or life changes, or simply want to reconnect—our door is open.
