Why We Exist
Healing Belongs to Everyone
Behind every session, every story, and every breakthrough is a simple belief: no one should have to choose between their mental health and their financial stability.
That’s the heartbeat of The Therapy Project, a nonprofit committed to making therapy affordable and accessible for individuals and families ready to heal, grow, and thrive.
Our Mission: Removing Barriers + Restoring Hope
Our Mission
The Therapy Project exists to make mental health care accessible to the families who need it most by providing integrated support, building community partnerships, and engaging the communities we serve so individuals and families can heal, grow, and thrive across generations.
Our Vision
We envision thriving communities where families have access to the mental health care, real-life support, and community connections they need to break generational cycles, build healthy relationships, and flourish.
Because when we heal together, communities thrive.
How We Make Healing Possible
We provide therapy and support that meet people where they are, emotionally and financially.
Affordable care: MO HealthNet (Medicaid) accepted, with a sliding scale from $35 for those with financial need
Therapy for everyone at home: individuals, couples, families, children, and teens, with virtual and in-person options
The Therapy Fund: scholarships that cover 12 free sessions for people who can’t afford care, beginning in 2027
Community partnerships with donors and organizations to expand access to care
Each session is a step toward freedom, stability, and peace.
A Letter From Our Executive Director
When I started The Therapy Project, I kept meeting people who were doing their best to hold it all together but couldn’t afford the help they deserved. They weren’t weak. They were weary. They just needed someone to make healing possible.
That’s why this work exists: to remove the barriers that keep people from therapy, and to make sure money never decides who gets to heal.
Every time someone sits across from one of our therapists and feels seen for the first time, I’m reminded that this is what hope looks like.
Whether you start therapy, sponsor a session, or simply share our mission, you become part of someone’s healing story. Thank you for believing that every person deserves access to care, comfort, and connection.
With gratitude,
Melissa L. Webb, LPC | Executive Director

Join the Movement
Healing happens when we do it together.
Every breakthrough, every family restored, every person who finally feels seen starts when someone chooses to care. You’re not just supporting therapy. You’re building hope, breaking cycles, and proving that when we heal together, communities thrive.
