Giving Back

At Mindful Child & Family Therapy, we care deeply about serving all people in our community, including those in need of support who might not have the financial resources to access it. To this end, we offer low fee rates to 10% of the people we serve. At least 1 out of every 10 clients will receive a low fee rate, based on financial necessity. In addition, we invite at least 1 out of every 10 participants in our paid groups to participate at low fee, based on financial need. We also believe that mothers are agents of change in their families, and that by supporting the mother, we support children and families as well. As part of an ongoing effort to give back to our community, Jaclyn Long, founded Mind Body Moms in 2014 to offer integrative maternal wellness groups to support mothers in mind, body and spirit - so they can bring their best and deepest selves to their children & teens. Mothers are often the "CEO's" of their families - the Chief Emotional Officers. So supporting moms can have far reaching benefits on the emotional wellbeing of the family as a whole. While these groups are offered for a fee in Palo Alto, they are offered at no fee for low-income, Spanish-speaking mothers in East Palo Alto and Half Moon Bay. In January 2020, Andres Perez from Organizacion Edificando Vidas (OEV) began to oversee the low-income groups for Spanish-speaking moms. The groups for Spanish-speaking moms in East Palo Alto & Half Moon Bay are currently being offered through OEV. Please email aperez@evidas.org with questions.
