28 million Americans with Medicaid need mental health care. Only a third of them will find it.

The math is devastating. Millions of America’s most vulnerable population are left without access to the mental health treatment they desperately need. Systemic barriers like operational complexity and low reimbursement rates keep care out of reach for those who need it most.

When Medicaid patients can’t find care, their treatable conditions escalate into crises. Emergency rooms become their only option. Lives that could have been transformed through early intervention instead spiral downward.

This is where Third Space comes in.

We’re on a mission to bridge this gap and rapidly increase access to care for underserved patients, creating a third space where healing can happen.

We accept most Medicaid plans and some Commercial insurance plans, while operating a virtual practice across the states we operate in, to offer no-cost & low-cost therapy sessions to those in need.
