The Grow Wellness Foundation was established in 2022 with a mission to expand awareness and access to mental wellness care for the underserved. The foundation strives to expand accessibility to mental wellness services for the underserved or marginalized populations through reduced fees and subsidized therapy services.
They also collaborate with other mental wellness providers working in schools, businesses, and other community organizations to build mental health awareness and response strategies.
Grow Wellness Foundation offers pro bono, reduced fee, and sliding scale mental health appointments to individuals ages 3+, couples, and families in the Northern Illinois area, and they offer services in English and Spanish.

The future of therapy
The Mental Health and Wellness field is facing a tremendous worker shortage – especially in getting the best and brightest to enter the field, and Grow Wellness Foundation is helping to shape the future of the mental health profession by:
Offering scholarships for the best and brightest who may not be able to afford tuition otherwise
Working with University Master’s programs to enrich their curriculum
Working with Undergraduate and High Schools to give students an opportunity for earlier internships
Presenting at career fairs for undergraduate students interested in a career in the helping field
A client promise
Grow Wellness Foundation promises to be there for anyone on every step of their journey. The goal is to help anyone grow from their struggles, heal from their pain, and move forward to where they want to be in life.
