Expert 1:1 Care
Getting to a therapist in Haiti runs into a stark reality: roughly 7.32 mental health specialists per 100,000 residents, most of them clustered in Port-au-Prince and Petionville, and a public-system wait at Mars and Kline that averages close to a full year. Finding a therapist at all is difficult. Finding a quality clinician actually trained in what your situation needs, whether that's OCD, complex trauma, panic disorder, depression, BPD, ADHD, bipolar, anger work, grief, or whatever else you're navigating, is harder still. Grouport is built for exactly that gap. After a short signup you're shown clinician options fitted to your specific situation and you choose the therapist you'd like to work with, typically getting started within 24 to 72 hours. Weekly 45-minute one-on-one video sessions with the same therapist, held on secure HIPAA-compliant video, at $103 per session on average ($448 per month), with automatic discounts included for every additional weekly session and the flexibility to adjust cadence as your situation evolves.

Read together, the numbers on this page point to a system where demand outruns capacity and cost sits high relative to local incomes. A workforce ratio of 7.32 per 100,000, a public-system wait that averages 52 weeks, and a specialist bench concentrated in Port-au-Prince all argue for a care model that does not depend on Haiti's in-country referral pathways. Individual therapy is a natural fit here because the constraint is not motivation but access: what is scarce is a licensed clinician with an opening this week, held on a consistent schedule, and priced in a stable currency. Grouport supplies that shape of care over HIPAA-compliant video, making sustained weekly one-on-one therapy realistic for Haiti clients across every department.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE
Haiti's mental health infrastructure has been strained by successive shocks, and the 7.32 workers per 100,000 figure. Even when a clinician is available, most private consultations happen in Port-au-Prince, forcing residents of the Nord, Artibonite, or Sud departments to arrange multi-hour road travel through terrain and security conditions that are often unpredictable. For working adults and caregivers, that logistical cost is frequently the reason a first appointment never gets booked at all.
For a working adult in Delmas or Gonaives, the practical cost of Haiti's specialist shortage adds up quickly. A first appointment that averages 52 weeks to secure means symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, or low mood have almost a full year to compound before a clinician even opens a file. Private options exist in the capital, but a round-trip drive from Saint-Marc or an inter-departmental journey from Jeremie eats a full day and a chunk of a modest paycheck, and repeat weekly attendance becomes impractical after the first few tries. Grouport removes that math. A licensed therapist opens a video room from wherever the client already is, holds the appointment weekly at the same time, and asks nothing of the client's commute or their employer beyond forty-five focused minutes.
The individual format is what makes online delivery genuinely work in Haiti's context. One licensed clinician, one client, one steady weekly appointment built around what a single person is actually carrying, whether that's anxiety, complex trauma, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, panic, grief, relationship strain, or one of the many other things people navigate. That specificity matters when the domestic alternative is either a public-system queue at Mars and Kline that runs many months or a private consultation in Port-au-Prince that requires driving in from Artibonite, Grand'Anse, or the Sud department. Grouport handles that gap differently. After a short signup you're shown therapist options fitted to your situation, you pick the clinician you'd like to work with, and you typically begin sessions within 24 to 72 hours, held at the same time slot week after week on secure HIPAA-compliant video. The therapist stays with you across the arc of your work, the plan builds week over week, and the confidentiality that local stigma so often threatens is protected by default. It is one-on-one therapy shaped around an ordinary Haitian work week rather than one that asks a person to rearrange it.
85% of Haiti's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
Three frictions that stall in-country care loosen sharply with a video-based model. The queue that stretches near a year for a first specialist appointment collapses into a short intake and a same-week match with a licensed therapist. The geographic gap between Haiti's roughly 800 mental health professionals, concentrated in Port-au-Prince and Petionville, and the 55 percent urban and 45 percent rural population everywhere else, stops mattering the moment sessions run on a phone or laptop. And the time zone works in Haiti's favor: Grouport clinicians hold appointment blocks that align with the US East Coast, which is Haiti's own EST timing, so evening or lunchtime sessions from Cap-Haitien or Les Cayes fit naturally into the workday without any awkward middle-of-the-night scheduling.
Haiti's formal mental health care sits across a few narrow channels. The public system is anchored by two national psychiatric hospitals, Mars and Kline in Port-au-Prince and Beudet near Croix-des-Bouquets, plus a handful of psychiatric units inside general hospitals. Private psychiatrists and clinical psychologists cluster in Port-au-Prince and Petionville, with fees paid out-of-pocket almost universally since OFATMA covers only formal-sector employees. NGO providers such as Partners In Health, Zanmi Lasante, MSF, and Saint Boniface extend some rural coverage but are stretched across many priorities. What none of these channels reliably delivers is an weekly one-on-one appointment with a licensed clinician that a Haiti client can actually start this month. That is the seat Grouport fills.
Haiti residents get immediate access to Individual Therapy at $103 per session on average (billed at $448/month), 50 to 60 percent below typical global one-on-one therapy rates of $150 to $250 per session. That price includes a weekly forty-five minute video appointment with a licensed clinician, HIPAA-compliant delivery, and the same therapist week over week, with no per-session invoicing to reconcile at the end of the month.
Affordability in Haiti is really about predictability and access to quality. The World Bank classifies Haiti as lower-middle-income, and out-of-pocket payment dominates because OFATMA and other domestic schemes cover very little of psychotherapy. Local private consultations, when a licensed psychologist is available at all, vary widely by clinician and neighborhood and can leave a household guessing about the next month's bill. Grouport replaces that guesswork with a fixed USD figure, $103 per session on average, billed at $448 per month for weekly sessions or $224 per month for every-other-week, so a full arc of therapy is a line item a family can commit to rather than reevaluate every visit. The rate sits well below the global $150 to $250 per session benchmark for one-on-one care with a licensed therapist, and it holds constant whether a month has four sessions or five.
For Haiti clients, the fee on a private psychologist's invoice is often only the visible portion of the cost. A round-trip from Saint-Marc, Les Cayes, or Cap-Haitien to a Port-au-Prince practice can burn hours of the workday, fuel or taxi money, and, for some appointments, an overnight stay. Add the unpredictability of per-session cash billing in Gourdes, the currency-conversion friction on any USD payment card, and the ongoing hunt for an licensed clinician with an actual opening, and the effective monthly cost climbs well above the sticker price. Grouport strips all of that out. No commute, no lost work hours, one predictable USD subscription, cancel anytime, and the licensed clinician is a video click away rather than a drive across a department.
The typical wait for a first mental health appointment in Haiti's in-country system runs around 52 weeks, and even private practices in Port-au-Prince often have narrow openings that fill quickly. Grouport works the other way. A short intake, a licensed therapist matched right away, and a first weekly session usually scheduled inside the same week, all without joining a specialist queue or bidding for a private slot. For Haiti 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.”
Michael

“I highly recommend this to anyone who is struggling with anxiety or depression. The therapists are top notch and have made me feel really comfortable and my anxiety has improved tremendously in only a few sessions!”
Isabel

"I joined Grouport to work on myself and to heal. I’m learning so much at every session! The change I see not only in myself but in my fellow group members is abundantly encouraging and profoundly fulfilling. Group therapy with Grouport is a powerful healing tool."
Sheldon

“I was feeling very down at the end of 2020 and I was ready to do something drastic that I know I'd likely regret. The group definitely helped show me that there are people who feel the same way as I do.”
Nancy

“The therapy from Grouport is high quality and convenient. I am becoming much more self aware and am liking myself more. My relationships at work are better and I’m much happier.”
Emily

Danielle

"Grouport can help you with your issues. Their therapists are well trained to work with you on your issues. I felt my anxiety greatly improve after only a few sessions. I highly recommend it!"
Glenn

"Grouport's approach to DBT is a real strength. This approach provides tools and methods for working with difficult emotions and getting a handle on them. It has given me hope where other approaches have failed."

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.
The Grouport bench is made up of licensed psychologists, LCSWs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LPCs, PsyDs, and PhDs credentialed for one-on-one clinical work and trained across the specific evidence-based approaches that particular concerns respond to, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, ERP for OCD, exposure work for panic and phobia, IFS, ACT, and trauma-focused modalities. That range is the point. Someone in Haiti working through obsessive-compulsive symptoms is shown a clinician trained in ERP; someone carrying complex trauma is shown a clinician equipped with EMDR or trauma-focused work; someone in a depressive episode or a difficult stretch in a relationship is shown someone practiced in that. Sessions run in English on secure HIPAA-compliant video and are fully confidential. Our clinicians work with clients from every corner of the country, from Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haitien to rural communes across Grand'Anse and the Centre, and hold context lightly, letting each person shape how much of their life circumstances comes into the room. A care coordinator is available throughout to help with choosing a therapist, adjusting cadence, or anything else that comes up.

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.
If your internet disconnects during a group session, rest assured your therapist will still be there as it's a group session with other group members, so they will be there when you rejoin. For private sessions, like individual therapy, your therapist will wait 20 minutes for you to reconnect. Try refreshing your browser, using a private or different web browser, restarting your device, switching to a different device, or switching to mobile data if wifi isn't working. If you can't resolve the issue contact our technical support team at
Online therapy with Grouport works through video sessions where you meet with a licensed therapist from the comfort of your home. After you sign up, we match you with a therapist within 24-48 hours based on your needs, schedule, and preferences. Sessions are conducted via our HIPAA-compliant video platform - you simply log in at your scheduled time and connect with your therapist. You'll receive the same evidence-based treatment and professional care as in-person therapy, with the added convenience of attending from anywhere.
Therapy homework translates session insights into daily life. Common assignments include practicing coping skills (breathing exercises, mindfulness, grounding techniques), tracking thoughts or mood, journaling about specific topics, behavioral experiments (trying new behaviors in real situations), communication exercises, reading relevant materials, self-monitoring of symptoms or patterns, and trying new approaches to old problems. Homework isn't busywork, it's essential for progress. What you do between sessions often matters more than the session itself. Most assignments can take 10-20 minutes each and be done several times weekly. Your therapist tailors homework to your goals and reviews completion each session. If homework feels overwhelming, discuss this and your therapist can adjust expectations.
Yes, therapy helps with major decisions like career changes, relationship choices, relocation, parenthood, ending relationships, or other life crossroads. Rather than telling you what to do, your therapist helps you clarify your values and priorities, explore pros and cons thoroughly, identify fears or patterns influencing the decision, understand underlying emotions, recognize any cognitive distortions affecting thinking, consider consequences realistically, access your own wisdom, and develop confidence in your choice. The decision remains yours, as therapy provides structure and support for the decision-making process. Many people find clarity within 8-12 sessions focused on a specific decision, though complex choices can take longer.
Grouport's individual therapy at an average of $103/session ($448/month) is already 50-60% below typical individual therapy costs of $150-250/session. Additional affordability options include using HSA/FSA funds for 20-30% tax savings, submitting superbills to insurance for 50-80% reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits, month-to-month billing with no long-term contracts allows you to attend when finances permit and pause when needed. If you pay quarterly or biannually, that comes with additional savings of 10% or 15% off respectively. Additionally, you can also do bi-weekly sessions for half the cost at $224/month. We also offer online group therapy at an average of $32/session which provides evidence-based treatment at the lowest cost, and our DBT self-guided program offers a one-time payment for lifetime access. We're committed to making quality care accessible. Contact us to discuss options that fit your budget.
Your first session focuses on understanding you and establishing a treatment plan. The therapist will ask about what brought you to therapy, current challenges, relevant history (relationships, work, family background, past therapy, medical issues), your strengths and coping strategies, and what you hope to achieve. They'll explain their therapeutic approach and how sessions work. You'll discuss confidentiality, logistics, and any questions you have. The first few sessions are also an opportunity to assess fit, do you feel comfortable with this therapist? Many people feel relief just from being heard and having a plan. You're not expected to share everything immediately as therapy unfolds at your pace.
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.
Loneliness happens anywhere. Maybe you're new somewhere and don't have community yet. Maybe cultural differences make friendships hard. Maybe you're isolated for other reasons. Online therapy provides consistent human connection and helps you work on building community where you are.
For private sessions, we require 48-72 hours notice to cancel/reschedule without charge. If you no-show or cancel last-minute, you would be charged. For groups we can add in session credits within reason if you miss a session here and there, but the premise is that you're paying monthly regardless of whether you use all your sessions. If you miss group sessions on occasion, we understand and that’s normal, so we can provide session credits as long as it's within reason.
Grouport charges in US dollars, $103 per weekly session or $448 per month, and bills through a secure checkout that accepts most international Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards issued by Haitian banks like Unibank, Sogebank, and BUH. Prepaid USD cards and cards linked to diaspora US accounts also work well, since many clients in Port-au-Prince and Petion-Ville prefer to avoid HTG conversion swings. Every-other-week billing is available at $224 per month if you want a lower monthly outlay while keeping licensed one-on-one video care.
After a short intake, you are matched with a licensed clinician (psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, or PhD) and can start right away, no 12-week waits. Because Haiti sits on Eastern Time year round, scheduling with US-based therapists is straightforward from Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haitien, or Les Cayes. You join a 45 minute HIPAA-compliant video session in English from your laptop or phone. The first session covers your history, current concerns, and goals, then you and your clinician set a weekly rhythm.
Grouport is available across all ten Haitian departments: Ouest, Nord, Nord-Est, Nord-Ouest, Artibonite, Centre, Sud, Sud-Est, Grand'Anse, and Nippes.
Participants join from Port-au-Prince, Carrefour, Delmas, Petionville, Cap-Haitien, Gonaives, Les Cayes, Saint-Marc, Croix-des-Bouquets, Jacmel, Jeremie, Hinche, Port-de-Paix, and Fort-Liberte, among other towns and communes.
