What is ICT?

Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) is an accessible, effective method that does not rely on referrals, doctors, insurance, or wait lists to offer immediate, no-cost access to any person needing mental health support.

Our mission is to pioneer the introduction of this alternative approach, inspired by a Brazilian model known as Terapia Comunitária Integrativa, to mental and community health to communities all around the country.

ICT uses guided conversation between members of a community (defined by characteristics such as shared interests, socioeconomic status, occupation, cultural background, age, ethnicity, or geographic location) as a solution to the US mental health emergency.

The method creates a safe space for people to share life experiences and wisdom, with each participant becoming their own therapist by listening to the life stories that are told, sharing in the responsibility of seeking solutions and overcoming daily challenges.

This accessible, effective method does not rely on referrals, doctors, insurance, or wait lists, and offers immediate, no-cost access to any person needing mental health support  in a warm, welcoming environment.
