Why should I apply?
This is an opportunity to participate in free group therapy with an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist, Nelson Hernandez LMFT-Associate. These therapy sessions allow yourself and others to create personal goals, learn more about your mental health, and identify your strengths and resilience. The Strengthening Colors of PRIDE team will also give brief surveys to participants throughout the sessions. Those who chose to complete the 3 surveys will receive a small monetary incentive after completing each one. In response to the needs of our community, we hope to fund more free and low-cost therapy in the near future.
