Overview
Mission
Our goal is to offer affordable counseling services based on a sliding scale according to the clients income in a calm and safe environment and by having ongoing therapy sessions based on the client needs using evidence-based theoretical orientations to facilitate the agreed-upon projected outcome. The plan is to build professional alliances with mft marriage and family therapist trainees and or interns from accredited universities working towards licensure to counsel the clients. This organization benefits clients who need professional counseling. This organization exists to teach clients the skills to be successful in their families homes on their jobs and in their communities. The organization would also benefit masters degree interns and trainees by giving them work experience while working under a licensed mft or psychologist.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
