Until recently, I had an article on my office door from 2009 titled "Psychotherapy Can Boost Happiness More Than Money." The analysis of data on thousands of Brits who provided info about their mental health suggested that about $1500 worth of therapy made people as happy as a raise of nearly $42,000.
Therapy is 32 times more cost-effective than money at improving well-being.
But not when you're out of work. Or underpaid. Or have no insurance. Therapy may be better than a big raise, but it's not better than being able to pay the rent or mortgage.
And for those who ARE in troubled financial straits......just when they could use therapy the most, they can't afford it.
So we've decided to help. We've always discounted our fees whenever we could for people with no insurance. But now we've freed up some therapists and time slots in the Highland Park and Jersey City offices. This means we can offer fees less than half of what we usually charge, for new clients without insurance or in financial difficulty.
Call 800-379-9220 if you are new to IPG and want to take advantage of this, and mention you saw the reduced fee offer online. Jamie or Nancy will help you out.
There's little stress to compare with the worry of not being able to meet basic needs for you and your family. And stress triggers depression, anxiety, and other problems that can make it harder to function - at a time you can't afford to NOT function. So get some help. And, if it's appropriate, call us.
