Volunteer Counseling Services – Counseling On Us
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Florida ranks first in mental health care needs but fiftieth in access to services. At Counseling On Us, we’re committed to changing this by creating mental health volunteer opportunities and connecting underserved individuals with professional counselors offering pro bono counseling services.
Clinicians at the Heart of the Movement
We celebrate counselors already engaged in volunteer work and encourage those ready to join us in providing accessible mental health care for all. Clinicians are the driving force behind our mission, transforming lives while improving Florida’s mental health care accessibility.
