About Us
Founded in 2002, Access Institute for Psychological Services is a key member of San Francisco's safety net of health services. We provide high-quality, long-term outpatient mental health care to low-income, culturally-diverse San Franciscans. We offer a highly-regarded clinical training program that helps create the next generation of therapists with a special interest in helping those who have nowhere else to turn. More than 60 highly qualified mental health professionals provide supervision and training to the intern-therapists. They also provide a framework for a larger community of people in the Bay Area who believe that mental health services should be available to everyone.
An independent, non-profit institution, Access Institute is not dependent on government or institutional support, especially important in this climate of cutback and closures. The business model is based on low administrative overhead, and is funded by a combination of patient fees and donations from supporters. There is a tremendous need for these services at this time, in this economic climate. Most of us have someone in our life - in our family, friendship group, among our colleagues - who need psychological services but cannot afford them. Access Institute is one of very few programs serving this broad and diverse group.
Mission
Access Institute is
committed to making quality mental health care affordable to San Franciscans,
particularly to those individuals and families who fall within the broad
gap between those eligible for publicly-funded mental health programs
and the more affluent who have adequate insurance or the financial means
to afford treatment. Along with providing direct service, Access Institute
is committed to providing psychoanalytically-oriented clinical training
and supervision to clinicians seeking licensure in a mental health discipline.
Affordable psychological services
Access Institute offers therapy and other mental health services at an
affordable sliding-scale rate. The centrally located clinic provides
psychological assessment, individual, couple and group therapy, with services
tailored to the needs of adults, families, children and seniors.
Appointment times are available Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
