Sliding Scale Crowdfunding

Aim

My name is Kaitlyn Gregoire, and I created this crowdfunding resource to assist those who are seeking therapy, but cannot afford it.

Hi there! My name is Kaitlyn Gregoire, MSW, LCSW, and I am a psychotherapist licensed in both Indiana and Kentucky. I own my own practice, Unchain the Mind, and I created this crowdfunded resource to assist those who need partial, or fully funded sessions who cannot afford it. 

A Safe Haven for Healing: Protecting Patient Privacy & Access

In today's complex world, accessing mental health care shouldn't come at the cost of your privacy or financial security. This resource is built on a core commitment to serving those most vulnerable by removing these critical barriers.

1. The Problem: Insurance & Privacy Risks
Using health insurance for therapy requires a mental health diagnosis that becomes a permanent part of your medical record. This can have unforeseen consequences, affecting future insurance eligibility, employment opportunities, and more. Your most private struggles should not become data points in a system that can use them against you.

2. My Solution: Direct, Private & Accessible Care
I provide a vital alternative. By creating a fund that directly covers session costs, I can allow individuals to access the care they need without requiring an insurance diagnosis. This protects patient privacy and ensures the sanctity of the therapeutic relationship remains confidential and secure.

3. Protecting the Most Vulnerable
This model specifically serves those for whom privacy is paramount—such as professionals in high-stakes careers, individuals in marginalized communities, and anyone who cannot risk a diagnosis on their record. By covering the cost of sessions, we remove the financial burden that often forces people to choose between their safety and their health.

4. My Commitment to You
My practice is rooted in the principles of social work: justice, dignity, and service. I am dedicated to creating a safe, confidential space for those who desperately need it. This resource is a direct extension of that commitment, ensuring that financial constraints or privacy concerns never block the path to healing.

Support this mission to make safe, private, and ethical mental health care accessible to all.
