The News Cycle Moved On. The Trauma Didn't.
Help keep free mental health support alive for terminated federal workers.
In February 2025, when sweeping federal layoffs blindsided thousands of dedicated public servants, Therapy4Feds was launched with a single urgent mandate: ensure no former federal worker had to face sudden career loss and emotional crisis alone.
When Axios spotlighted our mission nationwide, licensed therapists from across the US answered the call. Since day one, Therapy4Feds has operated as a zero-fee clearinghouse—never taking a single dollar from the individuals seeking care or the clinicians volunteering their time.
A recent study by 27 UNITED surveyed former NIH employees one year after their abrupt termination:
-
90% continue to experience adverse psychological effects, regardless of whether they found new employment.
-
40% report feeling deeply traumatized by the experience.
For nearly two years, Therapy4Feds has been 100% founder-funded. To keep our clearinghouse running, reach isolated workers, and onboard new volunteer clinicians, we need to raise $10,000 per year.
Transparency Note: Therapy4Feds is a mission-driven LLC dedicated to social impact over profit. Because we are organized as a social enterprise rather than a 501(c)(3) non-profit, contributions are not tax-deductible. We never charge fees to patients or therapists; 100% of proceeds directly fund software, outreach, and operational expenses necessary to maintain our free care clearinghouse.
Sustain the Lifeline. Fuel the Network.
Why Support a Mission-Driven LLC? Therapy4Feds was built for speed, direct action, and minimal overhead. As a mission-driven LLC, we prioritize social impact over profit. While contributions are not tax-deductible, 100% of your support goes directly toward platform maintenance, outreach, and therapist recruitment—with zero corporate bloat or administrative waste.
