Mission: Volunteers in Psychotherapy (VIP), founded in 1998, aims to correct problems managed care has brought to therapy: insurers severely ration psychotherapy, and require reports on the private lives of clients, undermining privacy. Our clients "pay for" their therapy with our Licensed Psychologists by independently and privately doing volunteer work for the community charity of their choice. Volunteer work provides clients with greater self-sufficiency and involvement in the community, while requiring some contribution and commitment from clients that benefits local charities.
