You called one office. Then another. Then another. Every answer sounds the same. It’s too expensive, there’s not enough staff, they’re not taking new clients ...

That’s *not* the case with us ... but we need help!

We’re fundraising to help keep our counseling and naturopathic services within reach for the people who need it most, and every gift removes one more barrier in the way.

Donate, share, tell someone ... whatever you can do helps someone else find what they’ve been looking for.

Today we're thinking about everyone who has a story to tell. Especially everyone in our Washington community.

Too often, the barriers to mental healthcare have nothing to do with someone's willingness to tell their story. Cost, insurance limitations, and provider shortages may all stand in the way.

We’re committed to hearing your story, and removing the barriers in your way.

You might know this feeling. Buying another planner, setting another reminder, promising yourself you’ll be more organized this time. But then you forget the reminders, and instead wonder why everything seems so easy for everyone else. For many of us, this is what ADHD feels like.

If you’ve already been diagnosed with ADHD, or think you might have it, talk to Dr. Winge about naturopathic options for diagnosis and ongoing care.

One of our favorite community resources is WA 211.

Calling 211 connects you with a real person who can help you find 27,000+ resources across Washington: food, housing, healthcare, transportation, mental health support, and more.

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to begin. 211 is a great place to start.
