Still on your employer plan or COBRA
Start with your plan's in-network options: Talkspace (opens in a new tab), Rula (opens in a new tab) and Headway (opens in a new tab).
Tip: Check your plan's mental-health copay first.
Free guide
Support for the hard part.
Losing a job is a loss. Here's how to find someone to talk to, based on the coverage you have right now.

Start with what's free
Your EAP may still be open.
Many employers keep Employee Assistance Program counseling available for 30 days to 6 months after your last day, often for your household too. Ask HR or check your separation packet for the end date, and use the sessions before they lapse.
Warmlines, for the hard-but-not-dangerous moments.
A warmline is a free, confidential line staffed by peers who have been through hard things themselves. Find a warmline near you (opens in a new tab).
By coverage
Find therapy that fits your coverage
On a new ACA marketplace plan
Look at Talkspace (opens in a new tab), Rula (opens in a new tab) and Grow Therapy (opens in a new tab).
Tip: Networks change with a new plan. Check before you book.
On Medicaid
Grow Therapy (opens in a new tab) and Rula (opens in a new tab) accept Medicaid in some states. Your state Medicaid member line can also list local providers.
Uninsured or haven't met your deductible
Open Path Collective (opens in a new tab) is a nonprofit: a one-time $65 membership, then $40–70 sessions, for households under $100K. BetterHelp (opens in a new tab) is self-pay; ask for financial aid at signup, which can take 10–40% off.
Not ready for therapy
That's fine. Peer support helps, and so do the warmlines (opens in a new tab) above.
Your plan puts the EAP end date and your coverage choice in order, next to everything else that has a deadline. Build my plan
