Your Support Keeps the Door to Healing Open

Healing begins when a person feels seen, heard, and held in safety. At the Community Institute for Psychotherapy (CIP), we provide a place where individuals, children, couples, and families can bring their pain, confusion, grief, and hope — and begin the work of healing.

This care is essential. When people receive timely mental health support, families stabilize, relationships heal, and lives regain direction.

As a nonprofit with no government funding, CIP depends on individual supporters like you to make this care possible. Your donation ensures that anyone seeking help can receive therapy and support, regardless of their ability to pay.

Your generosity helps sustain a healing community — one that restores dignity, strengthens relationships, and supports emotional well-being for people at every stage of life.

 

Because Healing Should Be Within Everyone’s Reach

With your help:

  • Hundreds of individuals and families each year regain stability, resilience, and the ability to live fuller, more meaningful lives.
  • Our sliding scale fee structure ensures that no one is turned away for lack of funds. Our cost efficiency allows each dollar to go further, serving more people in need.
  • Marin public schools, hospitals, private and public agencies rely on CIP to deliver the expert quality care needed by Marin’s most vulnerable families, children and adults. We receive hundreds of referrals each year.
  • Every call to CIP can mean one less call to 911, one less emergency room visit, or one less incarceration. Our skilled interventions help interrupt cycles of violence, substance abuse, helplessness, and hopelessness while working in collaboration with other safety-net agencies.

 

Why Give Now?

When one person finds healing, families strengthen, hope returns, and an entire community is made more whole.

As the new year begins, your support ensures CIP can continue offering this essential public resource throughout 2026 and beyond. Free from corporate influence or outside agendas, your gift helps keep our services independent, community-centered, and widely accessible.

 

No One Should Face Struggle Alone

Every gift—large or small—makes a meaningful difference. Your generosity ensures that those seeking support can find skilled, compassionate help when they need it most.
