Expert 1:1 Care
Chile's public mental health queue commonly stretches 8 weeks or longer, and a licensed English-speaking clinician is a rarity outside Santiago's eastern comunas. Grouport offers residents anywhere from Arica to Punta Arenas one-on-one online therapy in Chile with a licensed therapist over HIPAA-compliant video, at $103 per weekly session ($448 per month) or $224 per month for every-other-week. Intake is a short conversation, you are matched to a therapist, and the first session can happen this week. No FONASA referral, no ISAPRE pre-authorization, no domestic flight to a specialist appointment. Individual therapy in Chile, delivered in English by a licensed clinician, at a fixed USD subscription price you can plan a full course of care around.

Understanding the landscape of mental health care access and the challenges
residents face across the state.
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.
0.32 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 one-on-one video therapy sidesteps the two structural pressures that keep Chileans from starting care: the multi-month FONASA wait for a specialist and the concentration of private practice in a handful of Santiago comunas. A Grouport client sits with the same licensed clinician week after week, in a private session tailored entirely to that one person. Continuity with the same therapist across weeks is what most of the outcome research actually rests on, and the online format makes that continuity survivable through work travel, a move between regions, or a busy Santiago week. Chile residents get that structure at $103 per session, delivered from home, without navigating the FONASA queue or paying variable per-consulta fees at a Providencia clinic.
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 language and time-zone fit: sessions run in English on Chile Standard Time (UTC-4), which works cleanly for expats in Vina del Mar, international-school families, bilingual professionals in Las Condes, and dual-nationals returning from studies abroad.
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 a weekly one-on-one English-language 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 licensed one-on-one care. 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, English-language 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 $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 English-speaking 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 Metro or micro fares 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 English-speaking 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.

Your personal information is stored securely in HIPAA-compliant systems with strict access controls. Only your therapist and necessary administrative staff can access your records, and all access is logged for security. We never sell, share, or use your information for marketing purposes. Your therapy records are maintained according to state and federal regulations. You have the right to request copies of your records at any time, and you can review our detailed privacy policy for complete information about how we handle your data.
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.
Consistency really matters for online individual therapy to work. You're building trust and continuity with the same people over time. But life happens. Occasional misses are fine as that’s of course understandable as general life can get in the way. So as long as you’re making at least 80% of sessions then that should be good. If misses become more frequent, we’d generally recommend switching to a group that’s better for your schedule in general.
Online individual therapy addresses anxiety, depression, social anxiety, grief, trauma & PTSD, relationship issues, life transitions, anger management, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), self-esteem, stress management, emotion regulation skills (DBT groups), chronic illness, parenting challenges, substance use recovery, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and much more. So, we offer pretty much any kind of group where shared experience and peer feedback add value. Groups are often organized around specific themes so you're with people dealing with similar situations.
Online individual therapy duration varies by person. Some people attend for months and others attend for years. It’s totally based on what’s helpful for you and there’s no standard timeline. Minimum commitment to see clinically significant results is typically 8-12 sessions since individual sessions need time to build cohesion and trust. So you can go for as long as it’s helpful for you and there’s no set duration. You can leave when your goals are met or continue ongoing support for maintenance, whichever works best for you. This is why we also provide the flexibility to cancel at any time.
You don't need identical problems to benefit from online individual therapy. So while your exact situation might be unique, you'll be with people who have similar struggles. Even really different problems often share underlying patterns like isolation, fear, shame, difficulty trusting. Those commonalities matter more than identical circumstances. If you have a particular diagnosis then diagnosis-specific individual sessions would be helpful and that’s why individual sessions are typically structured around certain diagnoses like a trauma group, eating disorder group, OCD group, a BPD group, or it can be a group that focuses on a particular type of treatment like DBT, CBT, EMDR that’s helpful for certain things or it might be a general group for folks who have commonalities of some sort.
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.
For many people in Chile, one-on-one care is the right starting point when the issue feels personal, specific, or tied to work, relationships, or a life transition. Grouport Individual Therapy is weekly 45 to 50 minute video sessions with a licensed clinician (psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, or PhD), delivered over HIPAA-compliant video in English at $103 per session or $448 per month. You can match with a therapist and start right away after intake, whether you are in Santiago, Vina del Mar, or a remote area like Aysen or Chiloe.
Because Grouport Individual Therapy is delivered fully over HIPAA-compliant video, sessions happen from your own home, office, or a private space of your choice, with no clinic visits and no local waiting room. That privacy matters where stigma around therapy is still significant. You work weekly, 45 to 50 minutes, one-on-one with a licensed clinician in English at $103 per session or $448 per month (or every-other-week at $52 per session, $224 per month), and you can match with a therapist and start right away after intake.
