Your gift makes sure access to care never comes at the expense of the people providing it.
Rise Together Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that makes therapy possible for people who can't afford it — without asking therapists to absorb the cost of that access themselves.
Every donation goes directly toward closing that gap.
The Problem
Therapy works. Access to it doesn't — not for everyone. A client who can only afford $20 a session often has two options: stop going, or ask their therapist to quietly absorb the loss. Neither is sustainable.
Rise Together exists to remove that choice entirely.

Working with a Rise Together provider has kept me out of the hospital and improved my ability to manage challenging stressors and life situations — without my support ever feeling threatened. It's allowed me to feel less of a financial burden, so I can actually save for things like housing and food.

The accessibility and talent of the Rise Together team has been life saving, and I don't know what I would have done if I did not have access to this group.
