Spreading Caring, Compassionate, Culturally-Sensitive Counseling to Those in Need
We are seeking a 100 donors to join us to raise $6,000 for Grateful Heart Holistic Therapy Center and its services and programs before year's end. Will you join us by contributing $60 to help ensure that persons in our community have access to the psychological support they need? With your donation, we can continue to offer caring, compassionate, culturally-sensitive counseling through the Greater Bay Area.
As may know, as many as 350 million persons suffer from depression, anxiety and grief worldwide. At this very moment, as many as 2,000,000 Californians cannot access the therapeutic support they need. Unfortunately, even within the Bay Area, access to sensitive, inclusive, affordable psychological care is still in significant shortage, with long waits for services in many counties. Persons with special circumstances or from marginalized communities face additional barriers, including a lack of services sensitive to their needs.
Fortunately, with its commitment to affordability and multi-cultural corps of eclectically-trained and multi-lingual therapists, Grateful Heart Holistic Therapy Center is uniquely poised to fill this gap.
This year, with the help of community members like you, Grateful Heart will provide affordabl mental health care to approximately 1500 individuals, couples and families, removing the economic barrier to care than limits access for many members of our community.
Many of these individuals have very marginal incomes – students, young adults, single parents, unemployed and other economically stressed individuals, couples and families who typically cannot afford the cost of therapy. Your support will assist us to continue to meet their needs. Could you support us in this goal?
Psychotherapy provides such as vital opportunity for development and learning, helping persons lead lives with more freedom, opportunities and choices. In times like these, it can serve as a vital lifeline, especially for persons with histories of trauma, oppression or social or economic hardship.
As we approach the the year's end, we would like to extend an opportunity to you and other friends of Grateful Heart to help us safeguard the future of both our grassroots organization and the services we provide. We hope you will be inspired to contribute to help sustain our programs in the year ahead.
Please consider donating $60 -- $1 for each of the wonderful clinicians serving our community. All gifts, no matter how large or small, are welcome.
With your generous support, we can continue to provide caring, compassionate, culturally-relevant services to hundreds of people in need – and because Grateful Heart is a charitable non-profit, all donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of state and federal law.
Donating is SIMPLE.

Other Reasons to Consider Giving
Innovation: Grateful Heart was founded in 2006 and was one of the first programs in the Bay Area to focus on the needs of early-career psychotherapists to prepare for both licensure and success in private practice. In addition to providing important vocational support, we assist clinicians to develop and incubate their practices as viable businesses while they are still in the very early stages of their careers.
Community Commitment: As part of our commitment to our community, we ask our our clinicains to see at least three low-income clients at a significantly reduced fee. Guided by their social values, many of our clinicians choose to see several additional clients at fees far below common market rates for therapy in the Bay Area.
A Focus on Social Justice: As part of our program, we support our clinicians to develop practices that reflect both their social values as well as their financial goals. As an organization, we strive to adopt policies and procedures that promote sensitivity to issues of diversity and social justice. We also engage in ongoing program development to better serve our community, seeking to create more accessibility to services for marginalized, at-risk or low-income persons.
Impact: Since its inception, our organization has grown to provide psychotherapy to approximately 1500 individuals, couples, and families each year, many from economically vulnerable, at-risk or marginalized communities. More than 150 clinicians have participated in Grateful Heart’s program, successfully launching their practices.
Breadth of Focus: With our integrative focus, we encourage our clinicians to attend to the broader contexts of their clients’ lives, including the influences of intergenerational trauma, poverty and institutional oppression and the complex interplay of mind-body and spirit in emotional and psychological well-being.
Financial Empowerment: While early career practitioners in other fields, such as medicine, receive compensation, most mental health practitioners do not have access to paid internships. Many training programs offer little or no compensation, requiring most interns to hold multiple jobs while preparing for licensure. As a result, many struggle with financial stress as they balance the task of gaining 3000 hours of clinical experience pre-licensure. In contrast, Grateful Heart is committed to providing our clinicians with the potential to earn a viable wage based on their client caseload. Philosophically, and in practice, we are dedicated to allocating as much of our client earnings as possible to our therapists. After covering our basic operating expenses, all of our income is returned to our clinicians for their livelihoods.
Thank you for your support. A gift to Grateful Heart is an investment in the health and well-being of your community.
