How we help the community, with your support:
Community Outreach
Because of your donations, our team has been able to provide on-site support and grief counseling when our community’s schools, churches and organizations have faced a crisis or tragedy.
Group Therapy
We organize and offer many local groups that respond to specific community needs. Through group therapy, clients can find affordable and powerful support in an empathetic and encouraging setting.
Individual Therapy
With your support, our organization is able to provide 1:1 coaching and counseling to hundreds of individuals who otherwise, would not be able to access high-quality therapy.
The value of your donations:
What’s the story behind Therapy Resource Group?
In early 2018, our founder and clinician, Nicki Gaskins, created a group therapy workshop for adolescents. Soon it became evident that there was a broad community need for quality therapy, not just for youth, and only a narrow path of access to it. Nicki and her husband, Aaron, created a non-profit with the mission of providing realistic trauma relief through community crisis outreach, group therapy and individual therapy.
Facts & figures for our donors and volunteers:
Therapy Resource Group is committed to spending your money in a highly productive, efficient way. We ensure that 95% of your donation will go towards providing trauma informed counseling, resources and community education. Only 5% of operating/administrative costs are funded directly by donations, which means that 95% of all donations from individuals, associations, and foundations provide counseling services, education and resourcing to those who would not otherwise be able to afford it. So for every $20 donated, $19 goes directly to client services and support.
Your donation will directly support qualifying individuals who are in need of trauma informed counseling and resources by covering or subsidizing those costs. For example, a qualifying client (trauma victim identified as “uninsured” or “underinsured”), will be treated by a highly trained licensed counselor at little or no cost to them (client payment amounts are determined by need assessment and collection of financial information).
Beginning in 2022, Therapy Resource Group will have an annual independent audit.
