Mission: Access institute is a community-based non-profit that exists to serve people who want and need psychological support, but who aren't able to access it for any number of reasons. We offer low and no-fee psychological services to the people in our community who fall through the cracks. We train the next generation of mental health professionals with a psychoanalytic and community-service focus. Access institute is based on a model of compassion and continuity, for our patients, our intern therapists, our community-partners and professionals. This vibrant ecosystem makes it possible for more and more people in san francisco to get and give mental health support to those who need it the most.
Programs: Access institute's program provided more than 10,000 hours of service to over 350 individuals and families in fiscal year 2016-2017. Affordable and free mental health services were provided to low-income bay area residents.
