'Dear Self You Are Worth It' Mental Wellness Program

Project No Labels is a 501c3 non-profit organization making a huge impact in the Tampa Bay LGBTQ+ community. It’s a movement of love through volunteerism, activism, events, activities, and counseling. We are well known locally as a positive platform in the LGBTQ+ community with an established reputation for giving back.

In January, 2020, Project No Labels assisted in opening the gates to affordable therapy sessions to the local community. The resulting program "Dear Self You Are Worth It" is in collaboration with Cypress Wellness Center, supervised by Dr. Katie Schubert. Katie is a licensed mental health counselor, a board-certified sex therapist in the state of Florida, and a nationally certified counselor. “Dear Self You Are Worth It” was created to bridge the existing gap between the need for mental health care and the financial burden that limits its access.

Through this program we offer high quality, low cost, no insurance, no prequalification, LGBTQ+ friendly, inclusive, 45 min mental health therapy sessions for a $35-$65 sliding scale. If an individual cannot afford the session, Project No Labels sponsors a limited amount of sessions at no cost to the client. Since inception of this program, we have provided over 8000 sessions to the LGBTQ+ and low-income communities in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties; with an average of 33% of sessions being fully subsidized. Funds raised will go to providing more sessions to make our program sustainable for the coming year.
