Frequently Asked Questions

Mental Wellness for All is a non-profit public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We provide free online group mental wellness sessions and affordable private mental wellness sessions for individuals (and pets), teens, families, groups, and couples seeking mental health counseling.

Our team ensures that every practitioner we bring to the platform is diligently vetted for quality and safety of care provided. The practitioner must provide a valid certification, proof of identity, and undergo a criminal background check. 

After you choose a service and fill out the required information, the practitioner will then reach out to you to set up an appointment. At this point, you can decide your involvement. You can continue to act as the go between or introduce your loved one to the practitioner and end your involvement based on your assessment of your loved one's abilities and motivation moving forward.

The sessions are free and provided through the donations of yourself, others, and your practitioner.

Click on "Donate" at the top of the site, and then fill out the form. If you can, please provide a recurring donation amount that not only covers your sessions but for sessions of future clients. Your donation(s) will be charged to a credit card or PayPal.

It depends on the nature and severity of your condition. Each person’s experience of mental wellness training will be different, and the time it takes to see an improvement will also vary. It is not uncommon for someone to feel better within one or two sessions, but the majority of clients feeling better after 3 months of Weekly Sessions. It takes time for mental wellness training to work because mental habits and interpersonal patterns have built up for years, if not decades. To benefit from the wellness process, you need to actively engage in the assignments between sessions, and be honest with your practitioner when describing symptoms and situations.

The service is provided by independent practitioners who work directly with you. These practitioners are not employees of Mental Wellness For All. Mental Wellness For All is merely a non-profit public charity that provides the support services and funding to make sure your journey back to mental wellness is successful.

Our wellness practitioners, although not licensed therapists, have certifications in one or more modalities and energy practices. They also have years of experience with your particular challenge(s).

When you sign up we do not ask you for your full name or contact information but rather a "nickname" created by you that will be used to identify you in the system. When you decide to start the mental wellness process, we will ask you for your contact information for emergency situations, in cases where your wellness practitioner believes that you or someone else might be in danger.

Mental Wellness For All may provide many of the same benefits as face-to-face therapy, but it isn't a substitute for face-to-face therapy in every case. Most notably, your wellness practitioner isn't able to make an official diagnosis, prescribe medication, or fulfill any court order.

You and/or your loved one will be assigned one wellness practitioner to work with for as long as they decide to use Mental Wellness For All.

The wellness practitioner will keep what you tell them confidential, but there are limited exceptions. For example, if you threaten grave harm to yourself or to an identifiable victim the practitioner is required to report this information to the relevant authorities. Before starting mental wellness sessions, please discuss with your wellness practitioner their legal obligations to confidentiality if you have any concerns or questions.

For more information about how Mental Wellness For All protects your interactions, please review our Privacy Policy.

Depending on your preferences, you will meet with your practitioner weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.

• Phone 

• Video 

• Text

• Email

For live sessions, we encourage you to try what works best for you, based on your needs, availability, and convenience.

Live sessions are scheduled 1-hour wellness sessions between you and/or your loved one and the wellness practitioner. You can choose between video and phone.

Video session - have a face-to-face with your wellness practitioner through video streaming.

Phone session - conveniently speak with your wellness practitioner on the phone or through your computer.

Your appointed wellness practitioner will reach out to you for session date and time options. Once you both agree on session times, your practitioner will provide you with easy instructions on how to meet. Don't hesitate to reach out to your practitioner regarding any concerns.

Yes, you just need to let your wellness practitioner know that you would like to join the sessions.  

We find it to be very beneficial for all involved to see and hear what the teen and the parents are going through, so that they may better empathize with each other. All participants need to be ready to work with their minds as the others witness and come to a better understanding of each other.
