Montana Center for Somatic Psychotherapy(MCSP) is launching a MCSP Therapy Fund to address Montana’s Mental Health Crisis.
Our caring therapists currently see over 350 clients. Many of these clients are covered through Medicaid or Marketplace insurance and stand to lose their coverage 2026 open enrollment. We have started a Therapy Fund to subsidize treatment for clients who are not able to pay.
Montana Center for Somatic Psychotherapy’s mission is to provide access to the highest quality compassionate mental health care integrating the body and mind in Montana. We achieve this goal through support of our clinicians in continuing to stay at the cutting edge of treatment training. These clinicians then are able to provide warm, creative, well informed, individual, couples, family, and group counseling that incorporates the body, emotions, and the mind.
According to NAMI (National Alliance On Mental Health) Montana is facing a mental health crisis. 1 in 5 adults in Montana has mental illness compared to the national average of 1 in 20. 1 in 6 adolescents in Montana experience a major depressive episode each year. 1 in 9 adolescents in Montana has had serious thoughts of su***de each year. 1 in 20 adults in Montana has serious thoughts of su***de each year. We lost 389 people to su***de in 2023. 44,000 people in 2018 reported that they needed mental health treatment and did not seek it because of cost.
Montana Center for Somatic Psychotherapy is doing our part to address this mental health crisis. We have expanded this year to a second location. We have capacity for 16 therapists and are working to meet the needs of Montanans across the state through in person sessions in Missoula and telehealth. We need your support to help Montanans access the mental health care they need. Please donate to our Montana Center for Somatic Psychotherapy Fund to make sure that clients who need care can continue to access services even if their insurance is terminated.
MCSP will be matching the first $5000 that is donated to the fund. We are seeking other matching donors as well as community donors. If you are interested in making a donation for the link is here.
