A Message From Our CEO: Flourish Therapy’s Commitment in Challenging Times

March 9, 2025

“As our country navigates the harmful impacts of a U.S. administration that continues to push policies undermining gender, race, and human relationships, Flourish Therapy stands firmly with those affected. We acknowledge the real and lasting damage these policies inflict on marginalized communities and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to those facing discrimination and inequity.

LGBTQ+ identities are worthy of respect, dignity, and equal treatment under the law. At Flourish, we witness daily the systemic inequalities affecting people based on race, gender, socioeconomic status, and LGBTQ+ identity. These injustices, exacerbated by current policies, cannot go unchallenged. As an organization dedicated to mental health and well-being, we refuse to stand by in silence. Instead, we choose to:

STAND SOLIDLY with those being targeted for their identities.

ACT WITHIN OUR CURRENT SPHERE OF INFLUENCE as individuals, teams, organizations, and institutions.

CONTRIBUTE our hearts, hands, and resources to daily efforts to spread empathy, knowledge, and human kindness.

Flourish Therapy commits to these principles in everything we do. We will continue to provide critical mental health services to clients regardless of their ability to pay. Our 80 dedicated clinicians will remain steadfast in supporting marginalized individuals, ensuring they receive the care they need and deserve. As a community, we will advocate for policies that create a society rooted in justice, equity, and compassion.

Despite the challenges ahead, we choose hope. We choose action. And above all, we choose to stand together—because there is still so much good we can do”.

In solidarity,

Lisa Hansen, CEO & Founder
