Help us build office space for more child and adolescent therapists!
Creative Coping opened its doors in April 2023 with the mission to provide top-quality, evidence-based, and accessible mental health services to our clients and the community beyond. As a small group practice, we have the collective vision that mental health matters, and the skills that are learned in therapy are life skills that can benefit everyone. We offer both in-person and telehealth sessions for children, adolescents and adults, and we offer flexible hours to accommodate after-school and working hours. We also accept insurance, and are in-network with many commercial health plans!
While the need for mental health support has always existed, following the COVID-19 Pandemic, mental health challenges and the demand for therapeutic support is at an all-time high, especially in children and young people. Since opening, Creative Coping has been experiencing this demand first-hand, and with your support, we hope to continue to grow so that we can respond and offer the care that is so desperately needed.
After 3 months of being open, we have already had to start a waitlist. In response, we have expanded our team, but not our space. With your help and a generous matching grant from the Biz-M-Power Crowd-granting program , our goal is to add two more offices to our space and bring more people through our doors.
Project Details
Creative Coping is located in an office suite in Bedford, MA. Our current space contains three therapy offices, and one large, under-utilized room that we would like to sub-divide. We have consulted with the building contractor, and have been given an estimate for the renovation, which would build additional walls to create two more therapy offices out of the existing space. With the addition of two more therapy offices, we will be able to hire at least two more full-time clinicians to help us meet the overwhelming demand for our services!
How You Can Help
We are asking for donations of any size to help us reach our crowdfunding goal. Here's the cool part: your donation will be matched and DOUBLED by a Massachusetts Growth Capital Corporation Grant. This crowdfunding campaign is part of a grant program that supports small businesses in MA. If you help us raise $5,919 the grant will match the funds *times two* - providing us with a total of $17.757 which is the estimated cost of this renovation.
Help Save In-Person Therapy!
Since the pandemic began, more and more therapists have switched to virtual-only services. While this is certainly a convenient option for working adults, we have found that most kids and teens respond better to in-person therapy sessions. Our clinicians are trained to use games, toys, art materials, and movement to engage our young clients and to teach them about their feelings.
But in-person therapy requires office space - and we need more of it. Help us expand our impact by expanding our office space -- so we can do our best work and our young clients can receive the most benefit.
