Therapy shouldn't stop at state lines
Every state has laws that make it harder to find — or practice — mental health care. Therapy Without Borders works to modernize these laws so care can follow people, not zip codes.
How easy is it to get mental health care where you live?
A simple mission with two priorities
Remove state lines from mental health care. Every young person in America should be able to find and keep a therapist without worrying about invisible borders.
Universal Compact Participation
Every state should join every mental health compact. When all states participate, a college student can keep her therapist after moving across the country. A military spouse doesn't restart care after relocation. A family doesn't start over in a crisis.

Compacts solve interstate licensing, but insurance rules and outdated telehealth restrictions still block access. We're evaluating telehealth laws in every state to identify what works and push legislatures toward best-practice policies.

→Allows licensed professional counselors to practice across state lines in member states while maintaining home-state licensure standards.
→The newest mental health compact, enacted across multiple states with first licenses expected in 2026. Will cover licensed clinical social workers.
Mental health care shouldn't have borders
The policy solutions exist. What's needed now is action. Help us push every state toward accessible, borderless mental health care.
We need real stories from patients, parents, and providers to fuel policy change. Your voice matters — even anonymous stories carry weight with legislators.
