You Don’t Owe Anyone a ‘New Year, New You’: Mental Health in January When Survival Is the Goal

By Marquita Bolden

Feeling overwhelmed by New Year’s resolution culture? Philadelphia’s Therapy Center challenges toxic “self-improvement” messaging that harms mental health. When you’re navigating trauma, oppression, or financial stress, survival isn’t failure—it’s success. Our therapists explain why maintenance matters, how rest is resistance, and what compassionate mental health care looks like when traditional goal-setting doesn’t fit your reality. Affordable, sliding-scale therapy available for women, transgender, and gender-expansive communities.

Understanding Sliding Scale Therapy: Making Mental Health Accessible

By therapycenteradmin

Are you considering therapy but worried about the cost? You’re not alone. At TCP, we believe everyone deserves quality mental health care, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we’ve created a sliding scale fee system that meets you where you are financially.

With sessions starting at just $30 (compared to the typical $150-$175 in Philly), we make therapy possible for people who might otherwise go without care. In a city with a 21.7% poverty rate, affordability isn’t just a nice feature—it’s essential for making sure everyone can access the support they need.

What matters most is that you get the help you deserve, without the added stress of financial strain. Our clients tell us that removing the financial barrier allows them to focus on what really matters: their healing journey.
