Yes, it is possible to get free therapy in Washington through several programs and community resources. Individuals who are enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid) can receive mental health and counseling services at no cost through state-funded behavioral health agencies. Many community mental health centers across Washington also provide free or low-cost therapy based on income and eligibility.

Some nonprofit organizations in the state, such as the Therapy Fund Foundation, sponsor therapy sessions for individuals from underserved communities or those facing financial hardship. In addition, people employed by state or local government agencies often have access to Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), which include a limited number of free therapy sessions for employees and their family members.

For college and university students, many campus counseling centers offer free therapy services or a set number of sessions per term. Some hospitals, training clinics, and graduate psychology programs also provide no-cost or sliding-scale therapy through supervised student clinicians.

While completely free therapy is usually available only under specific conditions, there are many affordable and accessible options throughout Washington. Anyone seeking care can contact local behavioral health agencies, community health clinics, or nonprofit organizations to find programs that meet their financial and personal needs.
