PRO-BONO PROGRAM

Therapy without barriers.
Care without cost.

Goal: to provide free, high-quality psychotherapy services to patients experiencing vision loss.
Warm light through a window — representing clarity and support in Steady Mind's pro-bono vision loss therapy program.

Losing vision — fully or partially — is one of the most psychologically significant life transitions a person can face. It reshapes identity, independence, and daily experience in ways that extend far beyond what medical treatment alone can address.

At Steady Mind, we believe this transition deserves dedicated psychological support — regardless of a patient's financial situation. Through our pro-bono program, Farid Alsabeh, LLP, offers free, structured psychotherapy sessions to individuals experiencing vision loss, blindness, or significant visual impairment — at no cost to the patient.

What this program is

This is a volunteer program. Farid Alsabeh, LLP, offers free pro-bono psychotherapy to patients navigating vision loss, blindness, or the adjustment challenges that accompany significant changes in visual ability — including progressive conditions, sudden-onset vision loss, and post-surgical adaptation.

What sessions involve

Sessions follow Farid's structured, CBT-informed approach — the same clinical methodology applied to all Steady Mind services. The focus is on grief and adjustment, anxiety related to progression, identity and independence, and building resilience. Sessions are delivered virtually throughout Michigan.

Cost

There is no cost to patients. This is a volunteer program offered in the spirit of giving back to a community that is frequently underserved by mental health services.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Patients experiencing vision loss

This program is open to adults dealing with blindness, low vision, progressive visual conditions, or the psychological aftermath of vision-related medical events. No diagnosis is required.

IS THIS PROGRAM RIGHT FOR YOU?

This free program is for adults who are:

✓
Newly Diagnosed

Fear, grief, and uncertainty about what life will look like are all normal — and all treatable with proper support.

✓
Progressive Conditions

Conditions like macular degeneration or glaucoma create ongoing adjustment challenges as vision changes over time.

✓
Post-Medical Event

Sudden vision loss from injury or stroke creates acute trauma alongside the physical recovery process.

✓
Mental Health Impact

If your mood, sleep, or sense of identity has been affected by changes in your vision, structured therapy can help.

✓
Michigan Residents

This is a pro-bono program for Michigan residents of any income level. No cost, no income test, no insurance requirement.

Common Questions

Is this truly free? Are there any hidden costs?
Yes — completely free. This is a volunteer program. There is no session fee, no insurance billing, and no financial requirement to participate. The only thing required is a willingness to engage in structured psychotherapy.
Do I need a referral from my eye doctor?
No referral is required. You can contact Steady Mind directly using the consultation form. If you would like your ophthalmologist or low vision specialist to be aware of your participation, Farid is happy to coordinate — but it is not a condition of access.
Are sessions in-person or virtual?
All sessions are delivered virtually throughout Michigan. This is especially important for patients whose vision changes have affected their ability to drive or travel — virtual delivery means geography and mobility are never barriers to receiving care.
How many sessions are available through this program?
Sessions are offered on a case-by-case basis depending on clinical need and program availability. Farid will discuss the appropriate course of treatment with each patient individually during the initial consultation.
