Therapy Accessibility Issues

Andrew highlights a significant infrastructure problem in mental health care, where many therapists operate independently and don't accept insurance, making therapy unaffordable for many. His personal struggle in finding affordable therapy in New York City underscores a broader issue, as one in four Americans face treatable mental health conditions but often lack access due to cost. However, the landscape is shifting, with increasing awareness and a growing desire among payers and therapists to bridge this gap.
