We are a struggling counseling practice in Maryland struggling to survive against large hospitals and inpatient facilities. We are trying to help both a County and inner City communities - all those that need help with drugs, alcohol, domestic violence and mental illness. We try to be different by starting new groups or projects all the time. However, after 3 years, we still have only one computer (actually our others were stolen), Goodwill furniture, and no money at the end of the month. I want to continue to serve those in need and often do things pro bono. But things are getting tighter by the minute. Our rent keeps going up and our revenue keeps staying the same. We work long hours for fees that are never reimbursed or rates that we cut. We need that big break like a singer getting discovered. We have faith but no end in sight. We strive nonetheless to serve others in crisis while all the while not letting them know that the practice continues to be crisis. We are women owned and operated but welcome all. Help!
