Every gift helps someone like "Amanda" reclaim their life, their hope, and their sense of possibility.
On Colorado Gives Day, we’re honored to share an excerpt from an anonymized letter from one of our clients—a glimpse into the kind of healing your generosity makes possible. Their words speak to the courage it takes to seek help, the relief of being met with compassion instead of barriers, and the profound transformation that can happen when therapy is both accessible and affirming.
As you read Amanda's story, know this: There are hundreds more individuals and families in our community longing for the same chance to heal. With Medicaid restrictions limiting sessions and more families facing financial hardship, your support ensures no one has to choose between mental health and other basic needs.
"...Before coming to Ardent Grove, I carried so much fear, grief, and anxiety that everyday life felt impossible. I was trying to support myself and my disabled partner while battling trauma from past relationships and the death of a close family member. When I finally received Medicaid and connected with Shaye, it was the first time I felt hopeful in years. She helped me understand my anxiety, face old wounds, and build healthier patterns that slowly reshaped my life. Today, I am at a healthy weight, in a happier relationship with myself and others, and no longer terrified of my own thoughts. None of that would have been possible without accessible, compassionate care."
If Amanda's story moved you, we invite you to help create more stories like this— stories of safety, of stability, of breakthroughs, of feeling seen and supported at exactly the moment it’s needed most.

Thank you for making healing possible!
At Ardent Grove, we believe mental health care is a fundamental human right, not a privilege reserved for a special few. Our mission is to provide compassionate, accessible, and equitable support for all, especially those historically underserved. By uplifting individual well-being, we help create a stronger, more connected, and healthier community for everyone.
Ardent Grove is a non-profit, donor-funded mental health clinic that is rooted in providing low-cost, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, individualized care. We believe that the work of therapy is done best in a therapeutic relationship where there is warmth, collaboration, and space to be genuinely heard, seen, and honored. We provide services throughout the lifespan from infancy through adulthood, both in therapy and in community support. Our therapists are selected based not only on their areas of expertise, but on what they have to offer as partners in the therapy process – accessibility, professionalism, non-judgement, creativity, insightfulness, and compassion. We deeply value the courage and effort it takes to come to therapy, and we consider it a privilege to be on this journey with those we serve.
