About Us
Opening the door to healing — together.
At Open Gate, we believe that everyone deserves access to mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation. Founded with compassion and community in mind, we are a nonprofit organization committed to making emotional wellness more accessible through two main programs: peer-to-peer support calls and scholarships for professional therapy services.
We understand that reaching out can be hard. That’s why we’re here—to meet people where they are, to listen without judgment, and to offer pathways toward healing.
Our Vision
To create a world where support for addiction is accessible, affordable, and rooted in human connection.
Our Mission
To spark hope by providing compassionate support and resources that empower people to take their next step toward healing.
