Expert 1:1 Care
Grouport delivers individual therapy in United States without the four-week average wait or the $150 to $300 per session sticker shock that shapes much of the American private-pay mental health landscape. Clients are matched right away with a licensed clinician (a psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, or PsyD) and meet weekly over secure HIPAA-compliant video for 45 minutes of one-on-one therapy at $103 per session, billed as a predictable $448 per month. Every-other-week scheduling is available at $224 per month. With more than 8,500 federally designated Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas covering roughly 169 million Americans, online therapy United States residents can begin this week bypasses local scarcity and unpredictable per-session bills. Book right away and start weekly one-on-one work with your matched therapist.

Understanding the landscape of mental health care access and the challenges
residents face.
23% of American adults, 59.2 million people, experienced any mental illness in the prior year according to SAMHSA's 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
4 weeks the average wait for a first mental health appointment in the United States, longer in shortage areas and rural counties.
$74,580 median US household income, which still leaves self-pay therapy at $150 to $300 per session out of reach for many.
50%+ of the 59.2 million American adults with a mental illness in the past year did not receive any treatment.
8,500+ HRSA-designated Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas covering roughly 169 million Americans, with over 6,000 additional practitioners needed to close the gap.
106.32 per 100,000 mental health workers in the United States, a density that varies sharply between metro and non-metropolitan counties.
These numbers describe a mismatch, not a lack of demand. SAMHSA counted 59.2 million American adults, roughly 23 percent of the population, experiencing a mental illness in the prior year, yet fewer than half of them received treatment. HRSA's designation of more than 8,500 Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas covering 169 million Americans, along with the 6,000-plus practitioners it would take just to close current gaps, explains why so many people go without care. A weekly one-on-one video model with a licensed United States therapist at $103 per session and $448 per month is built for exactly this landscape. Grouport bypasses the local queue, works in every state and region, and puts a full course of care inside a predictable monthly budget.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE
The United States operates a fragmented, predominantly private mental health system with no universal coverage. Care is financed through employer-sponsored insurance covering roughly half the population, Medicare, Medicaid, ACA marketplace plans, and out-of-pocket payment. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires behavioral coverage on par with medical benefits, but enforcement is uneven and narrow provider networks routinely push patients into ghost-network searches. Roughly 59.2 million adults meet criteria for any mental illness in a given year, and more than half of them never see a professional.
For a working adult in the United States, the access gap shows up as weeks of searching directories for therapists who are not accepting new clients, a four-week wait for the ones who are, and hourly self-pay rates of $150 to $300 that make weekly care look unsustainable on a regular salary. SAMHSA's 2023 survey found that 59.2 million American adults, roughly 23 percent, experienced a mental illness in the prior year, yet fewer than half received treatment, largely because the path from recognizing a problem to a first session is that slow and expensive. Grouport removes that friction. A licensed therapist is available this week at $103 per session or $448 per month, and the same person handles every appointment, so a full course of care becomes something a working adult can actually plan around.
Grouport gives United States clients a private one-on-one therapy relationship that does not depend on where they live or which local practices happen to have openings. Every appointment is scheduled directly with the same licensed therapist week after week, so the work builds continuity instead of restarting with a new provider at each intake. Sessions run 45 minutes over HIPAA-compliant video, and the therapist tailors the approach to what the client actually wants to work on, whether that is anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, trauma, or building CBT and DBT skills. For Americans navigating a fragmented system of narrow referral pipelines and long waitlists, weekly online individual therapy offers a stable, direct, and immediately available alternative.
8,500+ HRSA-designated Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas covering roughly 169 million Americans, with over 6,000 additional practitioners needed to close the gap.
Grouport loosens three frictions that repeatedly delay care across the United States. First, the four-week average wait to see a therapist collapses to same-week scheduling once a client completes a brief intake, so there is no queue standing between recognizing a problem and starting on it. Second, geography stops being a gatekeeper. With more than 8,500 federally designated Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas covering 169 million Americans, video sessions with a licensed clinician reach small towns in the Mountain West, the Deep South, the northern Plains, and rural Appalachia just as reliably as they reach Manhattan, San Francisco, or Chicago. Third, the $150 to $300 per session self-pay range that dominates most American private practices gets replaced by a predictable $103 per session at $448 per month, with weekly continuity and no per-visit billing surprises.
The United States operates a fragmented, predominantly private mental health system with no universal coverage, layering employer plans, Medicare, Medicaid, community mental health centers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, employer assistance programs, university counseling services, and a large private-pay tier on top of one another. Even with federal parity law on the books, uneven enforcement and severe workforce shortages leave millions of Americans waiting or paying out of pocket. Grouport fits into that landscape as the option many clients cannot find locally: weekly one-on-one therapy with a licensed United States clinician, delivered in English over HIPAA-compliant video, at a transparent $103 per session or $448 per month, with a start date this week rather than next quarter.
Grouport gives United States residents immediate access to Individual Therapy at $103 per session on average (billed at $448 per month), 55 to 65 percent below the typical American self-pay range of $150 to $300 per session that dominates most private practices. The every-other-week option runs $224 per month for clients who want steady support at a lower monthly commitment. Both tiers are one flat United States dollar subscription, cancel anytime, with the same licensed therapist scheduling weekly or biweekly video sessions over a HIPAA-compliant platform.
Median household income in the United States runs around $75,000 to $80,000, but that number hides enormous variation, and even middle-income families frequently face limited savings and per-session self-pay rates of $150 to $300 that make weekly therapy financially unrealistic. Grouport's $448 per month at $103 per session brings a full weekly course of one-on-one care into a range most working households can plan around like a phone or streaming subscription. The every-other-week tier at $224 per month drops the barrier further for clients who want ongoing support without a weekly cadence. Pricing is transparent in United States dollars, with no per-session invoicing, no add-on charges, and no surprise bill after a longer session.
Weekly in-person therapy in the United States rarely costs only the session fee. Clients in dense metros like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Washington often spend 30 to 90 minutes each way navigating traffic or transit, paying for parking, gas, tolls, or ride-share, and blocking off half a workday around a 50 minute appointment. Suburban and rural clients face similar drive times to reach the nearest licensed therapist. On top of that, per-session self-pay billing at $150 to $300 makes each month's total unpredictable, and finding a licensed English-speaking clinician who is accepting new weekly clients can itself take weeks of searching. Grouport replaces all of that with one predictable United States dollar subscription at $103 per session or $448 per month, delivered from wherever the client has a private space and a screen. There is no commute, no per-visit surprise, and clients can cancel anytime.
Where the typical wait for a first therapy appointment in the United States runs about four weeks, and stretches longer in shortage regions and popular practices, Grouport intakes are designed to move clients from signup to their first session inside a few days. There is no waitlist queue, no phone tag with front desks, and no requirement to shop a directory of therapists who are not taking new clients. After a brief online intake, clients are matched with a licensed United States therapist whose specialty fits their goals, and they schedule the first 45 minute video session directly. For United States clients ready to start now, a licensed Grouport therapist is available this week.

Stephanie

“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

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."

Get Started

We don't currently accept insurance directly. Grouport provides affordable care without pre-approvals or referrals. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to submit for reimbursement depending on your plan. We can provide receipts upon request that you can submit for out of network reimbursement.
Many Grouport clients successfully get reimbursed through their out-of-network mental health benefits. Upon request, we can provide a detailed superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement rates typically range from 50-80% depending on your specific plan. To determine your out of network reimbursement coverage, call or email your insurance company and ask: "What are my out-of-network mental health benefits?" and "What percentage do you reimburse for out-of-network therapy (for the specific service you’re interested in)?"
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, etc..) and debit cards for payment. Your card is securely stored and automatically charged on your monthly billing date. We also accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards, which many clients use to pay for therapy with pre-tax dollars. You can update your payment method at anytime.
Give it some time. Feeling Initial discomfort is normal. If after a couple of sessions you still feel like you’re questioning whether the group is the right fit or not, talk to a care coordinator and they can help you explore what might be best for you. Maybe a different group would be a better fit, or perhaps it's worth sticking with the group to see if it's just taking some time to ease into it, which can happen before you find your rhythm with the group. You can always switch individual sessions at any time in the event you wish to switch to another group, and a care coordinator will work with you to make sure you’re happy with your group fit.
Yes, individual sessions are driven by member experiences. So definitely bring what’s going on in your life as that can impact the topic of discussion. The therapist facilitates the flow of conversation and what time of group focuses on what, but you and other members bring in what matters to work on and that certainly gets paid attention to and becomes a focus in conversation. By bringing in your own experiences, this makes the group more relevant and enables others to chime in and present skills that could be relevant to that specific situation.
It's super common to do online individual therapy and online individual therapy together. If you feel like individual support is missing, add in individual therapy alongside the group. If you feel like you solely need to focus on individual work, switch to individual therapy if that better meets your needs. It’s really up to what’s best for your needs and treatment plan, and different formats work better based on your needs.
Online individual therapy through Grouport works through HIPAA-compliant video sessions from wherever you have a private space and stable internet. Research has shown online therapy to be as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns including anxiety, depression, and stress. The main practical differences are convenience (no commute, no waiting room, easier scheduling around work), broader therapist selection (not limited to who is within driving distance), and often lower cost. For those in crisis needing immediate in-person care or specific therapies that require in-person components (some trauma modalities), in-person may be a better fit. For most weekly maintenance and skills-building work, online individual therapy delivers the same clinical benefit.
Religious doubt, faith crises, conflicts between your identity and religious teachings, or pressure from religious community all create distress. Therapy provides space to explore these questions without judgment. Your therapist respects your religious background while supporting your wellbeing.
Seasonal affective disorder happens in many countries, especially those with long dark winters or extreme seasonal changes. Therapy combined with light therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication helps you manage seasonal depression. Where you live affects light exposure and seasons differently.
Yes, absolutely. Research backs this up, online group therapy works for depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, and more. You get peer support, multiple perspectives, practice social skills, and realization you're not alone. Individual therapy provides more personalized attention and privacy. Many people benefit from both since they are complementary to each other, group for community and individual for personal work. Group is just a different format with unique benefits.
For most Americans, a lot better than the sticker price suggests. Parity law exists, but in practice in-network therapists are scarce, out-of-network reimbursement runs 50 to 70 percent of a $150 to $250 session, and high-deductible plans mean you pay full freight until you hit $1,500 or more. Grouport is a flat $32 per weekly session with a licensed therapist and a small group of one-on-one members, billed directly. No claims, no deductible, no surprise EOBs. You can join right away.
Yes. More than half of US counties have zero practicing psychiatrists, and Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas cover roughly 160 million Americans, which is why waitlists stretch for months in much of the Midwest, Appalachia, and the rural South. Grouport runs entirely over HIPAA-secure video with weekly one-on-ones across every US time zone, so you pick a slot that fits your schedule and meet the same licensed therapist and members each week from home. No commute, no waitlist, $103 per session, and you can join right away.
