Many individuals and families receive assistance from their bishop or clergy leader to help pay for therapy. If you’re part of a faith community that offers financial support, we’re here to make the process smooth and respectful.
Some churches, including congregations within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, offer financial assistance for counseling through local leaders. This support is often referred to as Bishop Pay or Clergy Pay.
Here’s how the process usually works:
You speak with your bishop or clergy member about your desire to begin therapy.
If approved, they may cover all or part of your session fees.
Willow Therapy can provide documentation or invoices as needed, while maintaining your privacy.
We are familiar with this process and are happy to collaborate with your bishop or church office to ensure billing is handled appropriately and discreetly.
We work to honor both your spiritual values and emotional health needs. All communication regarding clergy support is handled with care and confidentiality.
Whether you’re seeking therapy for anxiety, family conflict, trauma, or postpartum support, we’re committed to making services accessible—financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
Therapy is an important step toward healing, but for some, the financial cost can feel like a barrier. Many of our clients choose to involve their faith leaders because they want support not just emotionally, but spiritually. Clergy pay allows you to:
Begin therapy sooner without financial strain
Receive care that aligns with your values and beliefs
Engage in services that address both spiritual and emotional well-being
Access therapy for individuals, couples, teens, or families
This kind of support reflects your community’s desire to care for the whole person—and we’re here to be part of that circle of care.
Every congregation may set its own guidelines, but clergy and bishops often approve therapy services related to:
Marital or couples counseling
Teen and adolescent therapy
Pornography or addiction recovery
Family conflict or parenting issues
Emotional struggles such as anxiety, depression, or grief
Postpartum and motherhood support
Faith-based counseling that integrates your spiritual identity
