Centrul Social de Psihoterapie TFH

What Centrul Social de Psihoterapie TFH does

Centrul Social de Psihoterapie TFH is a Romanian non-profit association (operated by Asociația Atelierul Faptelor Bune, tax ID 41562006) that delivers free professional psychotherapy services to vulnerable populations. Founded in 2023 and headquartered at Str. Căderea Bastiliei nr. 17 in Bucharest, the organization was established to remove financial and geographic barriers to mental health care in Romania, where affordability is the primary constraint on access to psychotherapy. It serves six horizontal beneficiary segments — children aged 5-12, youth and adolescents, women who are abuse victims, adults, seniors, and parents/families — and has cumulatively supported more than 2,500 beneficiaries through more than 20,000 sessions, workshops, and therapy ateliers, delivered by a network of 160+ volunteer professional psychologists and psychotherapists.

The service portfolio consists of core therapy modalities — individual psychotherapy (7 weeks in-person or 5 weeks online, with 50-minute sessions), group therapy, support groups, case management, and educational workshops — distributed across three delivery channels: a physical center in Bucharest (opened 2023), a physical center in Cluj-Napoca (opened October 2024), and a nationwide online therapy center (launched 2025) that also serves the Romanian diaspora. The technology layer is minimal: a web-based intake form system, the organizer's website (centrulsocialtfh.ro) on Wix, and virtual consultation capabilities for remote sessions. The organization also publishes the Open Mind Podcast in collaboration with Veronica Căliman as a top-of-funnel awareness channel.

The business model is donation- and sponsorship-funded rather than revenue-generating: all therapeutic services are provided free of charge to income-qualified beneficiaries (eligibility thresholds include net income below 3,500 RON/month, unemployment, or social assistance status). Funding streams comprise individual donations (one-time and monthly, with monthly donors of ≥35 RON receiving a partner discount card), Romania's 3.5% individual income-tax redirection mechanism, and corporate sponsorship (companies may redirect up to 20% of profit tax or contribute products/services in exchange for brand visibility and CSR benefits). Distribution relies on community-led outreach, direct-to-consumer intake via the website, NGO and institutional referral partnerships, and event-driven engagement through workshops and the podcast. The organization is GDPR-compliant, has 14 paid staff, and has not raised external investment capital.
