For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to The Liberation Institute. I've been working at Liberation for almost two years (alongside dozens of other therapists) providing sliding-scale counseling to teachers, artists, students, and all manner of Bay Area folks who cannot afford typically high therapy fees. 

Mental health is finally beginning to get the attention it so desperately needs in this chaotic time for our country, and our planet. We're all being challenged in so many ways. Thanks you so much for considering a donation to an organization that is uniquely devoted to helping us all meet and face these daunting challenges.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I so appreciate your support this year -- a million thanks for your donation of any amount!  Every penny helps, and is so very appreciated.
