  • Savannah Chrisley said she spends thousands on therapy a month for herself and her younger siblings.

  • Their parents Todd and Julie Chrisley are currently serving a combined 19-year sentence in prison.

  • Speaking on her podcast, she said she is "blessed and fortunate enough to be able to do that."

Savannah Chrisley said that she, her brother Grayson, and niece Chloe have turned to the help of therapists and psychologists in the wake of their parents' incarceration — and it's costing her thousands of dollars each month.

In an episode of her podcast "Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley," released on Tuesday, the reality star discussed with her guest, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, the importance of mental health resources for both those on the inside and their loved ones.

Savannah said that "there is a huge population that can't afford" mental health assistance, but she personally spends "thousands of dollars a month for therapists, for psychologists" for herself and her two younger siblings since Todd and Julie Chrisley entered prison in January.

"I am blessed and fortunate enough to be able to do that," she added. "But the everyday person may not have those resources."

Todd and Julie, who are known to television audiences for their USA Network reality show "Chrisley Knows Best," were convicted on charges of bank fraud and tax evasion last year and began their combined 19-year sentence in January

In the aftermath, 25-year-old Savannah took custody of the married couple's teenage son, Grayson, 16, and their adopted daughter, Chloe, 10.

Together, Todd and Julie are also parents to a 26-year-old son, Chase. Real estate mogul Todd also shares daughter Lindsie, 33, and son Kyle, 31, with his ex-wife, Teresa Terry.

Chloe is Kyle's biological daughter, who Todd and Julie were granted custody of in 2016.

In a previous episode of the podcast, recorded shortly after Todd and Julie's sentences were announced, Savannah revealed that Chloe has "had a psychologist since she was a toddler" since the family "wanted to stay on top of her mental health and what's in her best interest."

She added that the youngster is well aware of the family's legal woes because "she listens more than you think."

Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted last year of defrauding banks out of more than $30 million by providing fake financial statements making it look like they were wealthier than they were.

Todd — who recently had his request to be moved to home confinement rejected — received a 12-year sentence, while Julie received a seven-year sentence.
