Who We Are
We're transforming mental health access
Resonate Joy is a nonprofit committed to making quality mental wellness accessible to everyone–regardless of time, money or insurance. Our mission: Transforming mental health access with equity, creativity, and care.
Equity | Creativity | Care
Our Vision
A world where healed individuals heal their communities
Our Goal
That mental wellness reaches outward from Resonate Joy and is felt deeply by every person we impact
We believe individuals resonate from the heart. Much like how one drop of water can create waves, when one person improves their wellbeing, they impact the entire system around them. Individual impact leads to collective impact.
This ripple effect of wellness includes everyone in our ecosystem: the clients seeking support, the resident counselors connecting with them, our staff members, our creative partners, and our donors. Everyone can create a rippling impact of wellness.
How We Do It
How We Bring This Vision to Life
We turn our commitment into reality through mental health education and scholarships for clinicians in training. By addressing the crisis of care from multiple angles, we ensure that healing isn’t just a possibility–it’s a sustainable reality for the communities who need it most. We currently focus on three initiatives.
Clinical Resident Scholarships
We provide academic scholarships for therapists in training. By removing financial barriers, there are more therapists to meet the growing need.
Mental Health Education
We combat silence and stigma by educating the public about mental health issues through our social media platforms, newsletter, events, and intentional partnerships.
Global Narrative Work
We provide trauma-informed training to researchers collecting women’s stories globally in order to create micro-healing spaces for historically silenced people.
Our Values
What Guides Our Work
These are the principles that shape how we show up, make decisions, and create change in the communities we serve.
What Drives Us Everyday
Education
We believe education is a driver of change. By increasing awareness and understanding of mental health, we make it easier for individuals and communities to grow, heal, and take action. We commit to both educating others and remaining lifelong learners, approaching our work with curiosity, humility, and a willingness to evolve.
Sustainability
We consider the impact of our daily decisions, understanding that what we do today shapes what is possible tomorrow. We intentionally pace our work to resist burnout culture and build something that lasts. We make choices that meet present needs while protecting the wellbeing, capacity, and resources of future generations.
Access
We are committed to removing barriers that have historically limited access to mental health care, knowledge, and opportunity. We invest in future therapists from diverse backgrounds, recognizing that representation within the field is essential to truly accessible and equitable care. We strive to create inclusive systems that expand equity and ensure more people can engage, benefit, and belong.
Human Flourishing
We believe every person has the capacity to move towards wholeness. Wellness is not a destination, but a series of small, meaningful steps of health, joy, and growth. We create spaces, resources, and opportunities that support individuals seeking a life where they can thrive.
The Individual
We pursue collective impact by valuing the power of each individual. Every person matters, and meaningful change often begins with one life being seen, supported, and transformed. We design our work to honor the individual, knowing that personal healing impacts communities.
