In today’s world, mental wellness should be a right—not a luxury. But for many people of color, accessing high-quality therapy is often out of reach due to being uninsured, underinsured, or priced out of care. At Odile Psychotherapy Service, we believe everyone deserves access to healing—without compromising quality or cultural alignment.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce a game-changing approach: subscription-based therapy.


Why People of Color Struggle to Access Therapy

Data tells a powerful story. According to Psychology.org:

  • Nearly 30 million Americans are uninsured—and people of color make up nearly half of that number.

  • Many are underinsured, with limited mental health coverage or high out-of-pocket costs.

  • Families with children in mental health care face an average of $4,361 in extra annual expenses, which prevents consistent support. (Parents.com)


The result? Far too many individuals postpone or avoid therapy altogether—especially if they can’t find a culturally competent therapist who truly understands their lived experience.


How a Therapy Subscription Can Help

Our mission at Odile Psychotherapy Service is simple: make therapy accessible for people of color—and our therapy subscription model is designed to do just that.


Here’s how it works:

  • ✅ Flat Monthly Rate: Predictable pricing that helps you budget confidently—no surprise bills.

  • ✅ Regular Appointments: Consistency is key to mental wellness. Subscription care supports ongoing healing.

  • ✅ Choose Your Therapist: Get matched with a therapist who reflects your values, culture, and needs.

  • ✅ High-Quality, Culturally Competent Care: We offer therapy that respects your identity and centers your story.


Why Now Is the Time to Prioritize Your Mental Health

Given the current political climate and economic uncertainty, building and belonging to community is more important than ever. Mental wellness is not just self-care—it’s resistance, empowerment, and healing.


At Odile Psychotherapy Service, we believe in breaking barriers—one session at a time.
