Golden Giving

A charitable initiative by Broken Gold Counseling, providing low-cost or donation-based therapy sessions to individuals in need of mental health support who may not otherwise be able to afford it.

Gifts, Passions & Values

Richard Leider once said, “Gifts + Passions + Values = Purpose.” This equation resonates deeply with me, especially since starting my private practice, where I can align my gifts, passions, and values to make a difference in others’ lives. Since 2019, I’ve had the incredible privilege of doing work that fulfills me—connecting with people, supporting their growth, and making a living while staying true to my purpose. Every day, I’m inspired to do this work, knowing that I’m helping others while continuing to grow both as a professional and a person.

Through the Golden Giving program, I aim to share these blessings by extending care to individuals in need. When I founded Broken Gold Counseling, my focus was on providing meaningful support while enjoying the autonomy of private practice. Today, I feel called to expand my values to include altruism and community.

The Golden Giving program is our way of giving back by sharing our brightest strengths to uplift others. Through this program, we offer two donation-based sessions of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) each month to individuals in need who may not otherwise afford this type of trauma treatment. The only requirement is a minimum $25 donation per session to the Breaking Free Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to providing trauma therapy for those unable to afford it.

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve mental and emotional well-being by making therapy accessible regardless of economic circumstances and to strengthen our community through donation-based services.
