SHIFT Into The New Year
A program designed to help 25 young people overcome obstacles and achieve good health.
About the program
2025 is fast approaching, and we’re on a mission to make a real difference for 25 young people by helping them SHIFT their mental health journey. Our goal? To make therapy more accessible and affordable, with a sliding scale starting at just $25 per session. We believe this is just the beginning of creating a powerful ripple effect that will positively impact our community.
By partnering with us, you can help break down the barriers to mental wellness and give more people the opportunity to thrive. Whether you refer someone, seek support for yourself, or simply spread the word, your involvement can change lives. Together, let’s create a lasting impact on mental health in our community.

Holistic Care
We provide expert, evidence-based, and culturally responsive care, creating personalized treatment plans to meet each client's unique mental health goals.
Program Timeline
-
Make a Referral: You can refer yourself, someone you know, or a community organization you believe would benefit from this program. Together, we can make mental health support more accessible to those in need.
-
Screening and Intake: One of our Client Care Coordinators will reach out to discuss the program, assess eligibility criteria, gain a deeper understanding of your needs, determine program fit, and explore what you are seeking to SHIFT.
-
Therapist Fit and Match: The Client Care team will match each client with an Associate Therapist based on their needs, therapist expertise, and our unique Fit criteria. Building a strong therapeutic relationship takes time, so we encourage you to give yourself and your Associate Therapist the space to get to know one another and develop a meaningful connection.

Client Notification and Assignment: Clients selected for the program will be notified via email and phone. To confirm your first appointment, all remaining paperwork must be completed. You will have 48 hours from the notification to complete the necessary forms, with the full support of the SHIFT team to guide you through the process.

Program Orientation and First Session: Clients will receive detailed information about what to expect and will be given the opportunity to ask any lingering questions before their first session. Throughout the program, they will have access to a supportive and compassionate team at SHIFT, ready to assist them every step of the way.
