Expert 1:1 Care
Grouport connects adults across Mongolia with a licensed therapist for weekly one-on-one video sessions at $103 per session ($448 per month), with a lighter every-other-week option at $224 per month. From a Sükhbaatar district apartment in Ulaanbaatar to a ger in a Khövsgöl aimag soum, individual therapy in Mongolia opens up the moment a working internet connection is in place. No 12-week wait for a National Center for Mental Health referral, no domestic flight to reach an English-speaking clinician, no cash-only invoice in tögrög. Intake takes a few minutes, matching is handled the same day, and sessions run 45 minutes over HIPAA-compliant video, fully confidential and available across all 21 aimags and the capital municipality.

Understanding the landscape of mental health care access and the challenges
residents face across the state.
12.0% of Mongolian adults live with a mental health condition each year, reflecting the ongoing need for accessible therapy options.
12 weeks the average wait to secure a first mental health appointment in Mongolia's public system, an interval during which symptoms often deepen.
$10,977 median household income in Mongolia, shaping what households can allocate to private mental health care.
85.0% of Mongolian adults with a mental health condition do not receive formal specialist treatment.
68% of Mongolia's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
47.0 per 100,000 mental health workers in Mongolia, a density that shapes availability, wait times, and access across the country.
Mongolia's headline numbers, roughly 47 mental health workers per 100,000 residents, a public-system wait of around 12 weeks, and a per-capita income that leaves little room for cash-only weekly private care, all point in the same direction. A country of 3.5 million people spread across 1.56 million square kilometers, with nearly half its population concentrated in Ulaanbaatar and a specialist workforce that is even more concentrated than the population itself, needs a delivery model that does not depend on being able to walk into a clinic in the capital. Grouport's individual therapy, one licensed clinician and one client meeting weekly over HIPAA-compliant video at a predictable USD subscription, matches Mongolia's access constraints almost point for point, and it opens up in days rather than months.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE
Mongolia is a country of roughly 3.5 million people spread across 1.56 million square kilometers, giving it one of the lowest population densities on Earth at about 2.2 people per square kilometer. Against that geography, WHO records a mental health workforce density of 46.96 per 100,000 residents, a figure that includes psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, mental health nurses and social workers, most of whom are stationed at the National Center for Mental Health, the Third State Central Hospital, and a small number of aimag general hospitals. Community-based psychotherapy as it is understood in the US or Western Europe is still an emerging field, concentrated in a handful of Ulaanbaatar private practices and a few NGO programs.
Twelve weeks is the schedulable part of Mongolia's public-system wait, and it is enough time for a career situation to unravel. A mining professional on an Oyu Tolgoi rotation who first books a National Center for Mental Health referral in the second week of a stretch of insomnia and low mood will not sit down with a psychotherapist until nearly the end of the following rotation, sometimes into the next season entirely. In the interim the sleep worsens, performance reviews drift, family conversations sharpen, and many Mongolians quietly close the door on getting help at all. Grouport removes the wait from the equation. Intake is completed online, a licensed clinician is matched right away, and a private 45 minute one-on-one session runs on the client's own schedule, from an apartment in the 4th khoroolol or a house on the outskirts of Darkhan.
Online one-on-one therapy fits Mongolia's specific access geometry. With most of the country's roughly 47 mental health workers per 100,000 residents concentrated at the National Center for Mental Health and a handful of Ulaanbaatar private practices, a private weekly video session with a licensed Grouport clinician brings a full 45 minutes of focused attention into a Bayangol district apartment, a house in Erdenet, or a ger in a Töv aimag soum, without a Miat flight to the capital and without stepping into any physical clinic. Because the format is one client and one therapist, the conversation stays private, the pace is set entirely around the individual's history, and continuity holds week after week with the same clinician. That kind of sustained one-on-one attention is difficult to secure inside Mongolia's public psychiatric pathway and expensive when it is available privately in English.
68% of Mongolia's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
Three frictions loosen the moment a Mongolia client books with Grouport. First, the queue: instead of waiting roughly 12 weeks for an NCMH-referred psychotherapist, matching happens right away and the first individual session can land within the same week. Second, geography: a resident of Ölgii in Bayan-Ölgii or Dalanzadgad in Ömnögovi no longer has to weigh a domestic flight or a multi-day drive against a face-to-face appointment in the capital; the therapist arrives over the connection, in the same time zone at UTC+8. Third, English-language access: sessions run in English with licensed clinicians who work regularly with globally-mobile clients, which meets the reality of NUM and MUST graduates, staff at Oyu Tolgoi and Erdenet Mining, NGO and diplomatic-community members, and Mongolians returning from study or work in South Korea, Japan, Australia, and the US.
Mongolia's mental health landscape is anchored by the National Center for Mental Health in Ulaanbaatar and psychiatric units inside aimag general hospitals, backed by the Health Insurance Fund for inpatient psychiatric care and a defined set of medications. Around that public core sits a small private-practice scene concentrated in the capital's central and Sükhbaatar districts, a handful of NGO and university counseling programs, and the informal support of family and community. What is missing across almost all of these channels is a reliable weekly one-on-one English-language psychotherapy option that a Mongolia resident can start this week rather than in the second month, at a predictable monthly rate. That is the gap Grouport's individual therapy is built for, a licensed clinician, a private video session, and a subscription that stays the same each month.
Mongolia 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 licensed one-on-one psychotherapy. A lighter every-other-week option is available at $224 per month for clients who prefer a slower cadence. Local Mongolian-language private counseling in Ulaanbaatar starts lower on a per-session basis, but it does not typically come with a graduate-level licensed clinician, an English-language session, HIPAA-compliant video delivery, and an immediate start inside the same week. What Grouport offers Mongolia clients is a licensed one-on-one arrangement at a subscription price that can be planned around for a full course of care.
Against Mongolia's GNI per capita of roughly $5,380 on the Atlas method (about $17,020 on a purchasing-power basis), Grouport's $448 per month weekly plan or $224 per month every-other-week plan is a real household line item, but it is one that stays fixed and predictable for as long as the work continues. A comparable weekly cadence with an English-speaking Ulaanbaatar private clinician, when one can be found, tends to run at expatriate-market rates plus intake and assessment fees, and none of it is reimbursed by the Health Insurance Fund. Priced against the $150 to $250 per session global range for licensed one-on-one psychotherapy, $103 per session sits well below the median, and a transparent monthly USD subscription is far easier to stretch across a full arc of care than the session-by-session invoicing typical in-country.
Sticker price alone does not capture what a Mongolia resident actually spends on face-to-face care. A round trip from Khovd or Ölgii to see a specialist in Ulaanbaatar is a Miat or Aero Mongolia flight plus at least one night in a hotel; from Choibalsan it is a domestic flight or a full-day drive across Dornod; from Dalanzadgad it is a Gobi crossing. Even inside Ulaanbaatar, a session in Sükhbaatar or Khan-Uul often means a taxi in each direction and time carved out of a working day, with informal-employment patterns in herding, small trade, and border commerce making lost hours difficult to recover. With Grouport there is no commute, no leave day spent on travel, no cash-only surprise or currency-conversion friction on top of the session cost, and no ongoing search for an English-speaking clinician with availability. The subscription is a single predictable amount in USD, and it can be cancelled at any point without further obligation.
Public-system psychotherapy in Mongolia typically sits behind a wait of around 12 weeks, and aimag-level access can push that number higher when a single psychiatrist covers an entire region on rotation. Grouport's timeline runs the other way. Intake takes a few minutes online, a licensed clinician reviews fit right away, and the first 45 minute one-on-one video session usually lands inside the same week the client signs up. That is a meaningful difference during winter, when travel between soums and aimag centers may be impossible for stretches at a time. For Mongolia clients ready to start now, a licensed Grouport therapist is available this week.

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 support@grouporttherapy.com and they will work with you on resolving.
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.
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.
Yes, and actually online individual therapy is highly effective for social anxiety specifically. Initial anxiety about joining is normal and expected. It's practice in a safe environment and you get to work on the very thing that scares you with support right there. Most people with social anxiety find that the fear of individual therapy is way worse than the reality. Social anxiety only improves through experience and not avoidance, so group provides a structured opportunity for this. Many people who have social anxiety find that individual therapy is the number one driver of their improvement.
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. "Small" problems still affect your wellbeing. General stress, dissatisfaction, wanting personal growth, relationship maintenance, are all valid reasons for therapy. Therapy isn't just for severe mental illness. It's for anyone who wants support to improve their life. #
Yes. Grouport serves clients all over the world. We work with people in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere. As long as you have internet access and can attend sessions during available times, you can use Grouport. We offer session times at all times of the day for both individual and group therapy, so we can get you set up with sessions at times that are convenient for your schedule.
No long-term commitment required. Grouport operates month-to-month. Try it for a month, see if it helps, continue or cancel. Most therapists recommend giving therapy at least 8-12 sessions to really assess whether it's working, but you're not locked into contracts. Month-to-month flexibility makes it lower-risk to try. Additionally you can always switch therapists or groups at any time, so we’ll work with you to make sure you're happy with the fit.
A standard home broadband or 4G mobile connection is enough. Ulaanbaatar and most aimag centers now have solid fixed and mobile internet, and Grouport's video sessions are optimized to run well on modest bandwidth. Herders and rural residents connecting from soum-level networks can also join using a mobile hotspot. Sessions are HIPAA-secure video meetings of one-on-one members led by a licensed therapist, so you get consistent weekly care from home at $103 per session without traveling hundreds of kilometers to the capital.
Yes. Mongolia sits on Ulaanbaatar Time (UTC+8), and Grouport runs weekly one-on-ones at evening and weekend slots that work around a standard Monday to Friday schedule at Rio Tinto, XacBank, UN offices, or any downtown employer. You pick a recurring 60-minute slot and keep the same licensed therapist and small group of one-on-one members each week. You can join right away instead of holding out six weeks for a public system appointment, all for $103 per session.
