Anyone can seek help. Finding mental health resources that are affordable is where the challenge often lies. 

Fortunately, Pro Bono Counseling serves individuals, couples, and families, of all ages and backgrounds. We believe everyone deserves equal access to quality mental health care. 

To support you, we aim to connect you to a therapist who is a good match for you. We do this because we know mental health conditions are treatable, and change is possible with the right connection. Our network of over 850 volunteer therapists covers a range of specialties, making it possible for us to support a wide range of needs and challenges.

We offer support for the following:

  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Sadness
  • Grief
  • Life transitions
  • Relationship issues
  • Any other issue that can be addressed through therapy.

If you live in Maryland and have problems affording the right care, reach out to us to see how we can help. Call us now at 410.825.1001 for a confidential phone interview. Phones are answered Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

If we are unable to find the right kind of therapist for your needs, we will connect you to other free or low-cost resources near you.

For those seeking help who do not reside in Maryland, please contact your local health department to find resources near you. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has equal access to good mental health care services and the resources they need to achieve their overall health and wellness.
