Who can apply?

Our Healing Hearts Financial Assistance program, sponsored by Humaniti Foundation, operates on a "pay what you can" model, which means that the cost of therapy is based on your income and ability to pay. This ensures that therapy remains affordable, even if you are facing financial difficulties. We understand that everyone's financial circumstances are different, and our financial assistance program is designed to accommodate a wide range of situations.

We review each application carefully and prioritize those with the greatest financial need.

If you have extended health benefits, you can also take advantage of them as insurance plans often cover our therapists.

Who is eligible to receive financial assistance?
The Healing Hearts USA Program provides free, sponsored therapy sessions for individuals who meet certain criteria. You may qualify if you are zakat-eligible, financially vulnerable and unable to afford therapy, in need of emergency support, referred by an Imam, or if you are an Imam serving at any masjid.

Each application is reviewed with care, and priority is given to those facing the greatest financial hardship. If you have extended health benefits, you may also be able to use your insurance, as many of our therapists are covered under common plans.
Who is Humaniti Foundation?
Humaniti Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to sustainable, on-the-ground community impact. As the funder of this financial assistance program, Humaniti has committed to supporting the mental health and emotional wellness of our Muslim communities through accessible, trusted mental health programming under the Healing Hearts USA campaign.
What makes therapy at Ruh Islamic?
At Ruh, everything we do is guided by the principles of Islam. We understand that mental health is a journey that touches both the heart and soul, and we believe that every step of this process is an amanah (trust) given to us by Allah. We strive to approach our work with ihsaan (excellence), with the intention of alleviating the difficulties faced by our brothers and sisters with compassion, wisdom, and sincerity.

Our therapists are trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities, with ongoing professional development that includes religious consultation and clinical training within an Islamic framework. This allows them to integrate modern therapeutic techniques with Islamic teachings, ensuring that our clients’ cultural and spiritual needs are always respected and addressed.

At the core of Ruh’s approach is the relationship with Allah (SWT). We recognize that healing is a holistic process—one that should not be void of the client’s ruh (soul). With this in mind, our therapists incorporate concepts like tawakkul (trust in Allah), sabr (patience), and gratitude, amongst other Islamic character strengths, when appropriate, in ways that are meaningful to our clients.

In addition to providing culturally sensitive care, we are deeply committed to seeing each client as they are. Our therapists strive to create a safe, inclusive space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their personal journeys. At Ruh, we foster a community that uplifts and empowers individuals, helping them to find healing through both modern mental health practices and the timeless wisdom of Islam.
What will this cover?
Based on your application, you may receive partial or full coverage for therapy sessions with Ruh therapists, funded by Humaniti Foundation.
Does Ruh offer therapy in-person? Is online therapy effective?
Ruh is currently a fully online therapy platform. Online therapy has proven to be effective, if not even more effective for many people, offering several meaningful benefits like access to a wider range of therapeutic expertise you may not find locally, greater accessibility without long waitlists, and convenience of joining from the comfort and privacy of your own space without having to commute.

If you're someone who usually prefers in-person sessions, you're not alone. Many of our clients feel that way at first too. That’s why we offer a fit guarantee, where if you find that your first therapy session was not a right fit, we will match you with another therapist free of cost. More often than not, many clients choose to confidently move forward after experiencing the impact firsthand of how online support fits into their life more smoothly than they expected.

While Ruh is fully online, we also run a few in-person initiatives through partnered school and masjid counselling programs. These programs are only available to students or community members directly affiliated with those organizations.
When will I hear back about my application?
You’ll receive a response within two weeks of your application.
Will my information remain private?
Absolutely. All information shared is kept strictly confidential and used solely for the purpose of eligibility determination.
What if I’ve never done therapy before?
That’s okay! We’ll walk you through everything. You’ll be paired with a therapist who respects your background, beliefs, and needs. We’ll do our best to match you with someone who fits your preferences. You’ll have input in the process.
