ABOUT US

Free2Talk was founded by William Mount, with the support of his mother and lifelong pediatrician.  William's vision for Free2Talk was born first out of his experience as a lifelong stutterer - which with speech therapy he has been able to manage and navigate. He recognized that not everyone has access to or can afford this vital therapy that helped him to overcome his impediment. In addition, William has benefited from mental health therapy, especially life-saving at a time when depression and anxiety nearly engulfed him in his first year of high school.  

William learned firsthand how both speech and mental health therapy changed his life.  He also came to understand how expensive and often inaccessible therapy is to kids and teens.  From that realization emerged Free2Talk - a non-profit organization that aims to provide financial assistance to Virginia kids and teens seeking therapy but without the ability to pay for it.
