Expert 1:1 Care
For Belizeans looking for individual therapy in Belize without the multi-month public-system queue, Grouport pairs each client with a licensed therapist for one-on-one online sessions at $103 per session ($448 per month), or $224 per month for every-other-week. Sessions run 45 minutes over HIPAA-compliant video in English, which fits Belize's official language. With WHO recording only 0.28 mental health specialists per 100,000 people nationwide and public intakes stretching close to 20 weeks, online therapy Belize clients access through Grouport gives residents in Belize City, Belmopan, San Pedro Town, or a Toledo village the same one-on-one therapy access they'd expect in a well-resourced capital, and they can start this week rather than late in the year.

Understanding the landscape of mental health care access and the challenges
residents face across the state.
17.2% of Belizean adults live with a mental health condition each year, reflecting the ongoing need for accessible therapy options.
20 weeks the average wait to secure a first mental health appointment in Belize's public system, an interval during which symptoms often deepen.
$13,633 median household income in Belize, shaping what households can allocate to private mental health care.
85.0% of Belizean adults with a mental health condition do not receive formal specialist treatment.
99% of Belize's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
0.28 per 100,000 mental health workers in Belize, a density that shapes availability, wait times, and access across the country.
Belize's numbers describe a country where individual therapy exists in principle but is rationed in practice. A workforce recorded at 0.28 specialists per 100,000, a public-system wait of about 20 weeks, and a private-pay market concentrated in Belize City and San Pedro Town together mean that a working adult in Punta Gorda, Corozal Town, or Independence has few realistic paths to sustained one-on-one care from a licensed clinician. Grouport's model, one client, one licensed therapist, weekly 45 minute sessions, HIPAA-compliant video, English-language delivery, and a fixed US$103 per session subscription, is a direct answer to those constraints. It gives Belizean clients the format the country's own workforce cannot yet supply at scale.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE
Belize's mental health system is centralized around a small number of public facilities, chiefly in Belize City and Belmopan, supported by community mental health nurses covering entire districts. With WHO recording 0.28 specialists per 100,000 residents, a single practitioner can be the only trained option across an entire rural constituency. Private psychology practices exist but cluster in the Belize District, and out-of-pocket fees quickly rise above what a household earning near the country's $13,780 PPP average can absorb week after week.
Consider a bookkeeper in Orange Walk Town who notices her sleep unraveling in September. If she calls the Cleopatra White Polyclinic or the referral line in Belize City, the working assumption clinicians use for non-urgent routing is about 20 weeks, which means her first appointment lands sometime in February. In between, she is either paying BZ$150 to BZ$300 per session out of pocket to a private psychologist in Belize City (a four-hour bus round trip on the Philip Goldson Highway before the session even starts) or she is doing nothing at all. Five months of doing nothing is when a manageable pattern hardens into a chronic one. Grouport removes that gap: she pays $103 for the first session, meets her licensed therapist over video that same week, and every session after that lands in her living room.
One-on-one online therapy answers the two things Belize's public system cannot promise: an appointment this week and undivided time with a licensed clinician. Every Grouport session is a private 45 minute conversation between one client and one therapist, with no shared meeting time and no rotating faces. That format matters in a country where the entire specialist workforce sits at 0.28 per 100,000, because the ratio in the room is always one client to one clinician regardless of how thin the national workforce runs. Clients keep the same therapist week after week, so treatment builds on itself instead of restarting each visit. The therapist can pace the work around what the client is actually navigating that month, whether that is grief, chronic anxiety, workplace burnout, or a relationship strain, and the plan follows the person rather than a local roster's availability.
99% of Belize's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
Three specific frictions loosen when individual therapy moves online for Belize clients. The first is the queue: the roughly 20-week wait for a public-system intake collapses to a few days between signing up and the first session. The second is geography: with roughly 45% of the population in Toledo, Cayo, Stann Creek, and other districts hours from a psychologist in Belize City or Belmopan, and with Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker separated from the mainland by water taxi or short flight, a video session from home skips the trip entirely. The third is timing: Belize runs on Central Standard Time year-round (UTC-6, aligned with US Central Time in winter), so weekday evening slots with a licensed therapist land at natural after-work hours rather than in the middle of the night.
Formal mental health care in Belize runs along four thin channels: the Ministry of Health and Wellness psychiatric unit at Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital in Belize City, the Community Mental Health Programme's psychiatric nurse practitioners deployed to regional hospitals and clinics, a small cluster of private psychologists in Belize City, Belmopan, and San Pedro Town, and the occasional NGO or church-affiliated counselling service. Between them, they cover a country whose entire specialist workforce is well under two full-time practitioners per 100,000 residents. What none of them reliably provides is a licensed clinician who can meet with the same client every week, in English, starting this week, at a price a working household can plan around. That is the gap Grouport fills for Belizean clients.
Belize residents get immediate access to Individual Therapy at $103 per session (billed at $448 per month), 50 to 60 percent below the global average of $150 to $250 per session for one-on-one licensed care. For clients who want a lighter cadence, the every-other-week plan runs $224 per month, and both plans are fixed in US dollars so a family can budget the full course of care up front instead of pricing each appointment as it comes.
Belize's per-capita GNI sits at about US$13,780 (PPP, World Bank 2024), and private psychotherapy inside the country typically runs BZ$150 to BZ$300 per hour in Belize City and San Pedro Town (roughly US$75 to US$150 per session), with expatriate-oriented practices on Ambergris Caye and in the Cayo District often charging above that range and offering less consistent English-speaking licensed availability than clients assume. What Grouport offers at $448 per month for weekly one-on-one care, or $224 per month for every-other-week care, is a fixed USD subscription a household can plan around across a full course of care, not a variable per-session invoice that shifts with each appointment. It sits well below the global $150 to $250 per-session average for licensed one-on-one therapy, and it removes the uncertainty of whether the next private slot in Belize City will actually be there when the client needs it. Consistency is what turns therapy into results, and predictable pricing is what protects consistency.
The advertised BZ$150 to BZ$300 hourly rate for a private session in Belize City rarely captures the true cost of an in-person appointment. A client from Orange Walk Town, Dangriga, or Punta Gorda adds a bus fare on the Philip Goldson or Southern Highway, a half-day or full day of lost wages, sometimes a taxi from the terminal to the clinic, and occasionally an overnight stay when the last northbound bus leaves before the session ends. Clients on Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker layer a water-taxi ticket on top of that. Currency-conversion friction and cash-only invoicing add their own small surcharges. Grouport removes every one of these: no commute, no lost work hours, no water taxi, no cash-only surprises, no weekly scramble to find a licensed English-speaking clinician with an open slot, one predictable monthly rate in USD, cancel anytime.
The single biggest difference between Grouport and Belize's usual routes to care is when the first session actually happens. Signing up through the public referral line in Belize City typically means waiting close to 20 weeks for a non-urgent intake. Booking a private psychologist in Belize City, Belmopan, or San Pedro Town often means waiting weeks for an opening and then coordinating bus, car, or water-taxi travel around it. Grouport works differently: intake is short, matching happens right away, and the first 45 minute one-on-one video session is usually inside the same week. For Belize clients ready to start now, a licensed Grouport therapist is available this week.

“Grouport is time flexible and affordable and if it didn’t exist, I don’t know where I would go. I had looked into other places before Grouport and there really wasn’t any option like it.”

Get Started

Yes\! You can attend over video chat on any smartphone. While we recommend video on a computer or laptop for the best therapeutic experience, you can attend sessions by any smartphone as well. Additionally, you can also attend sessions by audio only if needed, though we recommend to join by video for the best experience.
Yes, if you need to change your recurring group therapy session time you can absolutely switch groups to one that works better for your schedule. Groups work on a set schedule so we don’t reschedule group sessions but if you can’t make a particular group session we can always add in a credit as long as it's within reason. If you need to reschedule an individual, couples, or a family therapy session, you can coordinate with your therapist and our care team to find a new time for that week - just provide advance notice. ✅ Occasional reschedules are fine, but we recommend keeping changes to a minimum for consistency. ✅ Need to change your recurring weekly time? Our team will help you adjust to a new time that fits your schedule.
No, Grouport operates on a month-to-month basis with no long-term commitments required for our therapy plans. You can cancel at anytime and you’d just finish out whichever month you’re on. This flexibility allows you to attend therapy for as long as it's helpful. Many clients continue for several months or years as they work through their goals, while others use Grouport for shorter-term support. The choice is entirely yours, and you're never obligated to continue beyond your current billing period.
Most Grouport clients complete a brief intake form and are matched to a licensed therapist within a day. Your first individual therapy session can typically happen within the same week or the following week, depending on your therapist's availability and your schedule preferences. This is significantly faster than the typical wait for in-network therapy through commercial insurance, which averages 3 to 6 weeks in most US metros and even longer internationally. There is no waitlist to join.
Yes, and we make it easy. Fit between client and therapist matters a lot for therapy outcomes, so if the first therapist you're matched with doesn't feel like a good fit after a session or two, you can request a new match at no additional cost. We have licensed clinicians across specialties, styles, and demographics, so there's usually a stronger match available. Just let our care coordinators know and we'll re-match you.
Grouport is a self-pay service and does not currently bill insurance directly. However, many clients receive partial reimbursement through their insurance's out-of-network mental health benefits or through HSA/FSA accounts. We can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt with diagnosis codes) that you submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. The pricing ($103 per weekly session, $448/month) is often below what a single self-pay in-network session costs after deductibles, so the direct cost is competitive even before any reimbursement.
There's no fixed duration for individual therapy with Grouport. Some clients work with a therapist for 8 to 12 sessions (about 2 to 3 months) to address a specific concern like an acute anxiety episode or a life transition, then pause. Others use ongoing weekly therapy as long-term maintenance for years. Most therapists recommend 8 to 12 sessions minimum to assess whether therapy is working, but the choice is always yours. There's no long-term commitment required, and you can pause or cancel anytime.
If you're living somewhere and the dominant language isn't your first language, that's mentally exhausting. Constant translation. Missing nuances. Feeling like you can't express yourself fully. This affects mental health. Therapy in a language you're comfortable with provides relief.
Some cultures don't have a concept of therapy or view it very differently than Western psychology does. If you're from a culture where you wouldn't normally do therapy, it can feel strange or uncomfortable initially. Your therapist can explain how it works and adapt their approach to fit your cultural background.
Grouport doesn't directly accept Medicaid, but you can self-pay. Our Online Group Therapy options are typically the most affordable and only cost $25/session - $35/session depending on which group you sign up for.
Belize's public mental health system, anchored by the psychiatric unit at Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital in Belize City, often means waits of around 20 weeks for a specialist appointment. Grouport removes that delay. Once you complete intake, you are matched with a licensed clinician, a psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, or PhD, and can start weekly 45 to 50 minute one-on-one video sessions right away. At $103 per weekly session or $448 per month, care begins in days rather than months, with no travel to Belize City or Belmopan required.
Yes. Young adults studying or working in Belize City, Belmopan, San Ignacio, or on Ambergris Caye often struggle to find consistent one-on-one care given the country's ratio of 0.28 mental health workers per 100,000 people. Grouport offers weekly 45 to 50 minute video sessions with a licensed clinician for $103 per session, or $52 per session on an every-other-week plan at $224 per month. Sessions run on secure HIPAA-compliant video in English, so students can meet from a dorm, apartment, or shared home on Belize's UTC-6 schedule without missing classes.
