Psychology For All Seeks Passionate Board Members
Join us in breaking down barriers to mental health care in the greater Charlotte area
About Psychology For All
Psychology For All (PFA) is a Charlotte-based nonprofit on a mission to make mental health services accessible to everyone—regardless of financial status. Since 2015, we've been driving awareness of mental and emotional wellness while removing financial barriers that prevent our neighbors from getting the help they need.
Our Impact:
- $100,000 invested in counseling services for under-resourced residents
