GROWING ACCESS TO CARE
Your donation helps children, adults, and families access critical services — from therapy and diagnostics to creative recovery and peer support — all under one compassionate roof.
Our Mission
The Cedar Oaks Foundation was created to expand access to compassionate, holistic mental health care for individuals and families of all ages. We serve as the charitable arm of the Cedar Oaks Clinic, providing financial support to ensure no one is left behind due to cost or insurance limitations. Through generous donations, we help fund essential services like psychiatric care, mental health counseling, recreational therapy, peer support, health coaching, and more — all delivered through the Integrated Psychiatric Therapy approach and the Cedar Oaks Model of Care. Our mission is to nurture hope, foster healing, and remove barriers to care — so that every child, adult, and family can access the tools they need to thrive.
Our Approach
At the Cedar Oaks Foundation, we believe mental wellness is a lifelong journey — one that deserves understanding, support, and access at every step. Our role is to ensure that more individuals and families can benefit from the Cedar Oaks Model of Care, regardless of financial or insurance barriers. We fund services that integrate evidence-based therapies, innovative research, and the talents of a multidisciplinary care team. This may include counseling, resiliency skill-building, medication management, recreational therapy, peer support, and other holistic approaches. By supporting this model, we help people pursue their mental health goals with dignity, continuity, and compassion — because everyone deserves the chance to heal and grow.
Why Access Matters
Not all essential mental health services are covered by insurance — and for many families, that means going without the care they need. Your donations change that. By supporting the Cedar Oaks Foundation, you help provide access to therapies and services that would otherwise be out of reach. These include trauma-informed therapy, psychological assessments, health coaching, medication management, peer support, and recreational therapies such as equine-assisted care. These services promote recovery, strengthen families, support education and life skills, and — most critically — reduce the risk of death by suicide. Together, we can build a model of mental health care where no child, adult, or family is left behind.

Why we are called "Cedar Oaks Foundation"
Our name reflects the values we uphold and the vision we strive to bring to life. Across cultures, the Cedar tree symbolizes strength, protection, hope, and healing. The Oak represents resilience, wisdom, and endurance. Together, they speak to the core of mental wellness — the power to grow, recover, and thrive even through life’s most difficult seasons. At the Cedar Oaks Foundation, we carry these symbols forward by working to ensure that every child, adult, and family has access to inclusive, compassionate, and holistic mental health care. Our name honors both the roots of support we aim to provide and the strength we hope to nurture in every person we serve.
