Give the Gift of Healing & Invest in Our Community

At Achieve Counseling & Wellness, we believe everyone deserves the chance to heal and thrive. Unfortunately, for many hardworking Arizonans, the cost of mental health care is a significant barrier. A national survey found that 28% of U.S. adults with employer-sponsored health insurance and 42% of those who purchased insurance independently were considered underinsured (Commonwealth Fund, 2019). In Arizona, the middle class faces two critical challenges: a shortage of available services and the high cost of care (Stuart, 2015). In fact, 50% of working adults with employer-sponsored insurance reported delaying doctor’s appointments, skipping prescriptions, or postponing care due to cost (Levey, 2019).

Too many in our community struggle silently because they earn too much to qualify for Medicaid/AHCCCS but not enough to afford private therapy. Achieve Counseling & Wellness was founded in 2019 to close this care gap—serving the individuals, couples, and families that make up Arizona’s middle class.

Your donation directly changes this reality.
By supporting our sliding scale program, you empower individuals and families to access the essential counseling services they desperately need but could not otherwise afford.

Your generosity means:

• A young professional overwhelmed by anxiety can develop coping strategies, build a brighter future, and overcome the financial strain that might otherwise hold them back.
   
• A single parent battling depression can find strength, hope, and healing, without sacrificing their family’s basic needs for their own mental health.
   
• A medical student under intense pressure can receive consistent support, learning to manage stress and avoid burnout—so they can continue to care for others without losing themselves.
   
• A midlife parent, juggling children and aging parents, can find the emotional support to manage exhaustion, guilt, and overwhelm—without shouldering it all alone.
   
• A working college student balancing classes, shifts, and life stress can access therapy that helps them stay focused, emotionally grounded, and on track toward graduation.
   
• New parents adjusting to life with a baby can access couples counseling, strengthening their communication and connection to build a healthier, more resilient young family.
   
• A college student navigating the complexities of trauma can receive expert care on a limited budget, allowing them to heal and succeed in both school and life.
   

The impact of your generosity extends beyond individuals.
We recognize the vital role the middle class plays in the health of our society. Research has shown that a strong middle class:

• Promotes the development of human capital and a well-educated population
   
• Creates stable demand for goods and services
   
• Cultivates future entrepreneurs and job creators
   
• Supports inclusive political and economic institutions that foster growth (Boushey & Hersh, 2012)
   

When we invest in the well-being of our community's middle class, we are strengthening the very foundation of our society. By providing access to mental health care, we help individuals thrive and, in turn, contribute to the prosperity and growth of our shared future.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps make care more accessible.
Your donation isn’t just money—it’s an investment in healing, resilience, and the well-being of our community. Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier Arizona, one session at a time. 

"It isn’t the rich that lead the way to growth and prosperity. Instead, it is a thriving and vibrant middle class that shows us the path." (Madland, 2011)
