About the Program

We believe all women of colour should have access to experienced therapists, regardless of their ability to pay. Our mental health services are offered free of charge. 

Therapy sessions cost an average of $100 – $150 per session, and free counselling wait times can be as long as two years. This is a service that our community members have requested and we’re excited to provide it!

Our counselling program is currently paused. When it reopens, you’ll be able to connect with one of SNIWWOC’s registered BIPOC therapists (click for bios) to support your healing journey.
