The Why
We are a non-profit Spiritual organization that believes Mental Health Care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of socio-economic status. We do this by providing an Affordable Counseling Program and overseeing a quality training program for graduate students in the mental health field. We also provide the opportunity for like-minded holistic and mental health professionals to create their own private practices or conduct workshops and groups in our collaborative community.
Our Affordable Counseling Program was founded in 1999 to serve the working poor. Quality mental health care is often not accessible to those who are un or under insured. Our program is for individuals, couples and families that make under $65,000/year. Our fee structure is on a sliding scale between $25-$65. Many people still struggle to meet this minimum in those circumstances we do offer a scholarship to help subsidize some of the fee.
We operate in a Victorian house built in 1890. We believe that our house is a welcoming and comforting place for clients seeking support from us. Needless to say a more than a century old house requires a bit of upkeep.
Our 17 intern counselors help over 700+ clients a year get accessible mental health care services. This program has 9 volunteer supervisors. We provide these supervisors with some professional development as a thank you for what they do and we would love to continue this for them.
