Expert 1:1 Care
Getting to a therapist in Chile is hard before you even ask what kind. FONASA queues at CESFAM and COSAM routinely run 8 weeks or longer per MINSAL's own reporting, licensed clinicians concentrate in Santiago's eastern comunas of Providencia, Las Condes, and Vitacura, and residents from Arica through Coyhaique and Punta Arenas often face a domestic flight to reach a private consulta. Finding a therapist you actually trust is harder than finding one at all. Finding one trained in the specific evidence-based approach your situation calls for, whether that is CBT for panic, ERP for OCD, EMDR for trauma, DBT for emotion regulation, or focused work on depression, grief, bipolar, ADHD, or a relationship coming apart, is harder still. Grouport's online individual therapy is built for that. A short signup, therapist options fitted to your situation, and you choose the clinician you'd like to work with. Weekly 45-minute one-on-one video sessions on secure HIPAA-compliant video, at $103 per session on average ($448 per month), typically starting within 24 to 72 hours of signup.

Understanding the landscape of mental health care access and the challenges
residents face.
19.9% of Chilean adults live with a mental health condition each year, reflecting the ongoing need for accessible therapy options.
8 weeks the average wait to secure a first mental health appointment in Chile's public system, an interval during which symptoms often deepen.
$10,101 median household income in Chile, shaping what households can allocate to private mental health care.
73.0% of Chilean adults with a mental health condition do not receive formal specialist treatment.
99% of Chile's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
8.85 per 100,000 mental health workers in Chile, a density that shapes availability, wait times, and access across the country.
Read together, Chile's numbers point to a clear fit for one-on-one online therapy. WHO recorded only 0.32 mental health workers per 100,000 Chileans in its most recent staffing snapshot, and MINSAL's public system averages an 8-week wait for a first specialist consult, both signals that in-country demand is running well ahead of in-country capacity. The 2016-17 National Health Survey found roughly 15.8 percent of adults reporting depressive symptoms, and Chile's high-income status has not translated into enough licensed clinician availability outside Santiago's eastern comunas. Grouport's model, one licensed therapist meeting one client weekly over HIPAA-compliant video at $103 per session, is designed exactly for the gap between what Chilean adults need and what the local system can currently supply.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE
Chile's system is split between FONASA, the public insurer that covers roughly three quarters of the population, and Isapres, the private plans used by higher-income households. FONASA's GES program guarantees timely treatment for a defined list of conditions, depression, first-episode schizophrenia, bipolar disorder in adults, but everything outside that list joins a general specialist queue that MINSAL now averages at 8 weeks for mental health referrals. Isapre coverage is faster but plan-specific, with co-pays that scale steeply for extended therapy.
An eight-week wait sounds abstract until you sit with it. For a working adult in Antofagasta, Temuco, or Concepcion whose sleep is going, whose focus at work is drifting, or whose relationship is starting to fray, two months without professional support is not a neutral pause. Symptoms compound, sick days get used up, and small problems become entrenched ones. Private consultas in Santiago's eastern comunas run 40,000 to 70,000 CLP each and require driving to a Providencia or Las Condes address that most Chileans do not live near. Grouport removes both the wait and the travel: a licensed clinician meets you over video, from your own home, this week, at a fixed monthly USD price that does not shift with the peso.
Weekly online individual therapy sidesteps the two structural pressures that hold Chileans back from starting real care: the multi-month specialist wait inside FONASA and the concentration of quality private practice in a narrow slice of eastern Santiago. With Grouport, a short signup brings you therapist options fitted to your situation, you choose the licensed clinician you'd like to work with, and you sit with the same person week after week in a private 45-minute one-on-one session tailored entirely to you. Continuity with one therapist across the arc of care is what most of the outcome research actually rests on, and the online format keeps that continuity intact through a work trip to Antofagasta, a move between regions, or a Santiago week that gets away from you. Sessions run over secure HIPAA-compliant video at $103 per session on average ($448 per month), or $224 per month on the every-other-week cadence, so a household can plan a full course of treatment rather than budgeting one consulta at a time.
99% of Chile's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
Three frictions loosen the moment you shift to online therapy in Chile with Grouport. First, the wait: instead of joining a public specialist queue that MINSAL's own reporting averages at 8 weeks, you complete a short intake and start with a licensed therapist within days. Second, geography: whether you are in Puerto Montt, Iquique, Coyhaique, or a rural comuna in La Araucania, the same clinician is one video call away, no domestic flight or overnight stay required. Third, the time-zone fit: sessions run on Chile Standard Time (UTC-4), which slots into a Chilean workday whether the client is a professional in Las Condes, a family in Vina del Mar, or a student in Concepcion.
Chile's formal care landscape has four main tracks. FONASA covers roughly three quarters of the population through CESFAM primary care centers and COSAM community mental health units. ISAPREs serve higher-income households with private plans that quote faster access but layer in per-session co-pays for extended care. Employer EAPs and university clinics fill narrow niches. Private consultas in Providencia, Las Condes, and Vitacura round out the market for those who can pay cash. What is missing across all four is an weekly one-on-one option that a Chile resident can start within days, at a predictable USD price, from any address in the country. Grouport fills exactly that gap.
Chile residents get immediate access to Individual Therapy at $103 per session on average (billed at $448 per month), 50 to 60 percent below the global average of $150 to $250 per session for one-on-one care with a licensed therapist. Local Chilean private consultas in Santiago's eastern comunas quote lower headline peso figures at 40,000 to 70,000 CLP per visit, but they are cash-priced per session, denominated in a currency that has repriced several times over the past two years, and heavily concentrated in Providencia, Las Condes, and Vitacura. Grouport keeps the price fixed in USD, the delivery online, and the clinician licensed, so the value comparison for a Chilean household is not simply peso per session but predictability, credentials, delivery, and immediate start.
For a Chilean household budgeting a full course of care rather than one or two consultas, a fixed monthly USD subscription is easier to plan around than variable per-visit billing at a Providencia clinic. Weekly Grouport sits at $103 per session on average, billed at $448 per month, every-other-week at $224 per month, and the numbers do not shift with peso volatility. Local private consultas in the eastern comunas do exist at lower headline peso rates for those who can find availability with the right clinician and reach the address weekly, but consistent access to a licensed therapist with immediate openings is scarce even at premium prices in Chile. Grouport delivers that consistency well below the global $150 to $250 per session range for one-on-one care, at a price a household can stretch across a full arc of treatment rather than a handful of visits.
The line item on a Providencia boleta is not the whole cost of in-person therapy in Chile. Add a Bip! Metro or micro fare of CLP 810 each way across Santiago, gasoline and parking in the eastern comunas, an hour or more off work per session, and for residents outside the Metropolitan Region an occasional domestic flight or a long bus trip to a specialist appointment. Currency-conversion friction can bite when a preferred clinician bills in USD or EUR. Cash-only invoicing surprises land unpredictably. Time spent searching for a licensed therapist with actual openings adds hours of its own. Grouport removes all of it: no commute, no lost work hours, no per-session billing volatility, no cash-only surprises, no currency shock, one predictable monthly USD subscription, cancellable at any time.
MINSAL's own reporting puts the wait for a first public specialist mental health consult at around 8 weeks, and ISAPRE waits for well-known clinicians in Providencia or Las Condes often run into months. Grouport compresses that interval to days. A new client completes a short intake, is matched to a licensed therapist, and starts weekly one-on-one video sessions inside the same week. For Chile clients ready to start now, a licensed Grouport therapist is available this week.

Our therapists represent a wide range of clinical specialties & diverse backgrounds. They all undergo the most stringent credentialing process. Grouport therapists are caring, expert mental health professionals with years of experience helping people get the tools they need to see long-lasting change.
Grouport's clinician bench is built for range and depth: licensed psychologists, LCSWs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LPCs, PsyDs, and PhDs, all with graduate-level clinical training and current licensure. What matters as much as the letters is what each clinician actually practices. Therapists are trained in specific evidence-based approaches, CBT and exposure work for anxiety and panic, ERP for OCD, EMDR and trauma-focused modalities for PTSD and complex trauma, DBT for emotion regulation and BPD, IFS and ACT for identity, values, and internal-conflict work, and depth work for depression, grief, and life-transition strain, so clients get someone whose training actually fits their situation rather than the first available slot. After a short signup you are presented with therapist options fitted to your specific concern, preferred approach, and scheduling on Chile Standard Time, and you choose the clinician you'd like to work with. Sessions run in English over secure HIPAA-compliant video and are fully confidential.

You can attend your online therapy sessions from anywhere. The key requirements are any private location with internet access
If someone unexpectedly enters your space during a session you can simply turn off your camera until you have privacy again. Your therapist will understand and wait for you to return. For this reason, we recommend choosing a private location for sessions and if possible using headphones so your conversation isn't overheard.
That would be scheduled as a one off couples or family therapy session that would be billed for separately. Occasional couples or family therapy sessions can be valuable to support your individual work. Common reasons include, helping your partner understand your mental health condition, practicing communication skills with therapist support, addressing a specific relationship or family issue, your partner asking questions about how to support you, or transitioning to or adding couples or family therapy.
Trust is essential for effective therapy. If you don't trust your therapist, first ask yourself, Is this general difficulty trusting (a pattern in many relationships)? Or specific concerns about this person? Have you discussed your mistrust with them? Sometimes exploring trust issues with your therapist is therapeutic work, and many people have trust difficulties, and therapy is a safe place to address this. However, if specific behaviors make you uncomfortable (boundary violations, judgmental attitudes, broken confidentiality), trust your instincts and switch therapists immediately. Some trust builds gradually over several sessions; if you feel like trust is lacking or uncomfortable after 4-5 sessions, finding a better fit is appropriate and we can help you switch therapists.
Yes, therapy effectively addresses motivation and procrastination by exploring underlying causes such as perfectionism making starting to feel overwhelming, fear of failure or success, ADHD affecting executive function, depression depleting energy and interest, anxiety causing avoidance, unclear values and goals, learned helplessness, or simple lack of skills in planning and time management. Your therapist helps you understand your specific barriers to motivation, develop realistic goals and break them into manageable steps, address thinking patterns that maintain procrastination, build accountability, create structures supporting follow-through, and develop self-compassion (harsh self-criticism worsens motivation). CBT and behavioral activation are evidence-based approaches for motivation concerns.
Different therapy approaches suit different needs: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, effective for anxiety, depression, OCD. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness, developed initially for BPD but useful for anyone with intense emotions. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns affect current life. EMDR specifically treats trauma through bilateral stimulation. ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts rather than changing them and aligning actions with values. Your therapist explains their approach and why it fits your needs. Many therapists integrate multiple approaches where relevant.
Living through political instability, protests, violence, or conflict is traumatic. Therapy provides support during crises, helps you process ongoing stress and fear, and addresses trauma. If you're in danger, therapy also helps with safety planning and deciding whether to leave.
Workplace discrimination based on gender, race, age, disability, religion, or other factors happens in many countries. Employment protections vary, but the mental health impact is real. Therapy helps you cope with the stress of workplace discrimination and navigate difficult challenges and decisions.
Grouport's pricing varies by what type of therapy you need. Group therapy is typically between $25-$35 per session depending on which group you sign up for, usually billed at $448/month for weekly sessions. Individual therapy is $448/month for weekly sessions or $224/month if you do every-other-week. Couples therapy is $492/month. Family therapy is $640/month. We also offer IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) starting at $1,348/month for people needing more intensive support. All of these are flat monthly rates, so some months you'll get 4 sessions and some months you'll get 5 sessions for the same price. You can save 10% by paying quarterly or 15% by paying biannually. Whenever you're doing more than one session per week or combining therapy types, there are additional discounts naturally included in our bundled plans. Our DBT Self-Guided Program is a one-time fee of $500 for lifetime access. Most importantly, our pricing is way more affordable than traditional in-person therapy, which typically runs $150-300+ per session. And you can cancel anytime or switch therapists or groups at anytime—no long-term commitment. Since we offer many different plans based on what you'd like to do, it's always best to check the specific service you want and see all the plan options at https://www.grouporttherapy.com/service-types.
