<div>Hi, I’m Shaobeny Johnson a Christian Masters level mental health professional (Under the supervision of Judy White Jackson, LCP-A pending) devoted to helping teens, couples, and families heal, grow, and thrive. I’m building a private practice that blends evidence-based therapy (CBT, EFT, trauma-informed care), cultural humility, and faith-affirming support. I’ve been serving my community for years—as an educator, choreographer, and now a therapist—and I’m stepping into private practice to expand access, offer evening availability, and create specialized services for trauma recovery, relationship health, and identity-affirming care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m fundraising</strong>
</div>
<div>Launching a practice takes start-up capital for clinical trainings, licensure/insurance, technology, and outreach marketing so families can actually find me and book. The good news? I can do the work! I just need help covering the runway. Your support accelerates the moment I can say, “Yes, I have sessions available this week.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What your gift makes possible </strong>(impact)
</div>
<div>• Specialized training → higher-quality care for trauma, couples, and family systems
</div>
<div>• Ethical, secure technology → private, HIPAA-compliant sessions and records
</div>
<div>• Community outreach → workshops for teens, speciality organizations, churches, and local orgs
</div>
<div>• Sliding scale slots → reserved spots for clients with financial barriers
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Startup budget (transparent + practical)
</div>
<div>Advanced clinical trainings &amp; certifications ( I will choose 2–3 to start):
</div>
<div>• EMDR introductory training &amp; consults ………………… $1,400–$2,000
</div>
<div>• EFT Externship or Gottman Level 1 (couples) ………… $500–$1,200
</div>
<div>• Prepare/Enrich or SYMBIS certification (premarital) ………………… $225–$295
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Licensure/administrative setup: state fees, background checks, NPI, etc. … $250–$600
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Malpractice insurance (annual) ………………………………………… $250–$400
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>EHR/Telehealth platform (first year) ………………………………… $200–$600
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Website, domain, booking tools (DIY + apps) …………………… $150–$400
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Marketing &amp; outreach (referral packets, directory fees, prints, QR cards) ……… $250–$600
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Initial office setup (deposit/light furnishings if needed) ………… $500–$1,500
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estimated goal: $4,500–$6,500 (I’ll publish a running tracker and receipts so you can see progress in real time.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Accountability &amp; updates</strong>
</div>
<div>I’ll post monthly updates: what was funded, trainings completed, community events delivered, and how many low-cost sessions were offered. If you prefer, I’ll also share a simple public dashboard that shows budget → action → impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Non-clinical “thank yous” (ethical perks)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Name on my “Founding Supporters” page/wall (with your permission)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Quarterly community workshop (free to the public) on topics like stress, burnout, boundaries, or teen mental health
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Digital mini-guide: “Grounding Skills You Can Use Today” for all donors
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Sponsor shout-out for businesses/organizations at workshops and on my site
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Call to action</strong>
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever believed in my heart, my work, or the communities I serve, please give what you can and share this with three friends. Every dollar moves this from vision to visits. Thank you for helping me open the doors.
</div>
