The Collective Care Fund

Grief + Therapy Reimbursement Program

Because no one should have to choose between healing and financial stability.

Grief changes everything—your energy, your focus, your relationships, and sometimes your ability to keep up with life the way you used to. We believe that getting support during seasons of loss shouldn’t be another source of stress.

The Collective Care Fund helps offset the cost of therapy for individuals and families navigating loss. Whether you’ve experienced the death of a loved one, a major life transition, or another form of deep grief, this program is designed to help make counseling more accessible.

How It Works

  • Eligible applicants can receive in full or partial reimbursement (up to $500/individual or $50/session)for therapy sessions with a licensed provider of their choice.

  • Funds may be used for individual, couples, or family therapy sessions focused on grief, loss, or related mental health needs.

  • Reimbursements are issued directly to clients after proof of completed sessions.

  • Reimbursements are reviewed and approved by the Board the first week of every month.

Therapy Reimbursement for

Texas Flood Survivors

Together, we’re making a difference across Texas 

In collaboration with Safe Haven Counseling, this page is a response to connect those in need of counseling to funds for those services. Funds will be given to vetted trauma informed Texas providers who are offering sliding scale fees to meet the needs of hurting families and first responders around them.

Your tax-deductible donation helps us ensure Texans are connected to compassionate, competent providers who value linking arms to make an impact.

Services are available for children, teens, parents, and adults navigating grief and trauma.

Donations for our support of client reimbursement for therapy are now open. Click here to apply.

Your donations cover the reimbursement of up to $500/individual or $50/session + our administrative costs of therapeutic support for individuals and first responders impacted by Texas flooding.

How Flood Relief Donations Will Support Mental Health Care

All donations to The Mental Wellness Collective’s Texas Flood Mental Health Relief Fund will be specifically earmarked to support administrative efforts and the community in two ways: reimburse clients directly, or pay providers who are offering sliding scale care to those impacted by the devastating floods across our state.

Here’s how it works:

  • Licensed providers or therapy clients will apply to participate in the fund.

  • Each applicant will complete a brief interview and vetting process, including license verification through BHEC for providers.

  • To qualify, providers must be listed on the Safe Haven Counseling Resource Guide, which includes trauma-informed and accessible professionals across Texas.

  • For client reimbursement, only a superbill and amount requested are needed-no notes, ever.

  • The Mental Wellness Collective does not provide clinical services.

  • Reimbursement will be issued within 30 days of approved providers submitting a completed request for payment.

Who We Prioritize

As we steward this fund, we will prioritize reimbursements for providers serving:

  • Survivors in flood-affected areas

  • Individuals who lost loved ones

  • First responders and emergency personnel impacted by the disaster

When Services Begin

Our goal is to begin funding reimbursement of up to $50/10 therapy sessions per individual starting in Fall 2025, as donations allow. This model is rooted in dignity, access, and community healing.

Who Can Apply as a Provider?

Eligible providers must be:

  • Licensed in the State of Texas as a:

    • LMSW (under supervision)

    • LCSW

    • LPC-Associate (under supervision)

    • LPC or LPC-Supervisor

    • LMFT

    • Licensed Psychologist

Verification of credentials will be confirmed via the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC).
