Quality Therapy Shouldn’t Depend on Your Insurance
Perennial Access provides reduced-fee therapy for individuals and couples who do not have insurance, whose behavioral health benefits are limited, or whose insurance is not currently accepted by our practice.
Why We Offer Perennial Access
We believe that the ability to begin or continue therapy should not depend solely on insurance coverage. Perennial Access creates a lower-cost pathway to quality mental health care while maintaining the thoughtful, individualized, and culturally responsive approach that guides our practice.
Affordable Care
Reduced-fee therapy with clear, predictable pricing.
Choice of Providers
Access participating licensed clinicians and supervised graduate student therapists.
Flexible Care
Virtual and in-person services may be available depending on the clinician.
Care That Fits You
Therapy remains individualized to your needs, goals, and lived experience.
How Membership Works
Perennial Access is different from a traditional therapy subscription. Your $65 enrollment fee provides access to Perennial’s reduced-fee program. Therapy sessions are then paid individually as they occur.

Who Is Perennial Access For?
You May Be Eligible If:
- You do not currently have health insurance.
- Your insurance does not include adequate behavioral-health coverage.

Perennial may periodically review membership eligibility to ensure the program remains available to individuals and families who need reduced-fee care.
Use a self-attestation process. Do not require clients to upload tax returns or extensive financial documentation through the website.
Work With a Graduate Student Therapist
Graduate student therapists are master’s-level counseling students completing their supervised practicum or internship training. They provide therapy under the clinical supervision of an experienced licensed professional and participate in ongoing case consultation, training, and clinical development.
Individual therapy with a graduate intern starts at $30 per session.
Supervised Care Note:
Graduate therapists receive regular clinical supervision, documentation review, and consultation. Clients may be transitioned to another Perennial clinician when clinically appropriate or when an internship placement ends.
