Giving Back

At Simplify, we believe that we are here on this earth not just to better our own lives but to better the lives of those around us. We desire to LIVE and GIVE like no one else, which is why we give a portion of each session to those in need in our city, country, and around the world. 

Henri Nouwen, “True joy, happiness, and inner peace come from the giving of ourselves to others.  A happy life is a life for others.”  

Since our start in 2011, we have been blown away by the immense growth and success of the practice.  And as people of faith, we believe that the success we’ve been given is a precious gift to be stewarded wisely.  So as our success has grown throughout the years, so has our capacity to give, serve, and help others. We are thrilled to share that because of you and other Simplify Life clients since we started in 2011, we’ve been able to give nearly $500,000 in donations and thousands of volunteer hours!

We’ve listed some of the specific organizations we’ve served and the ways in which the Simplify team has come alongside these organizations, not only financially but by volunteering their time and services. 

You have been treated generously, so live generously. Matthew 10:8

Promise 686: Support for adoptive children/families and foster care services through donations, giving to families in need in tangible ways through Christmas gifts, advocacy programs and trainings. Hannah has volunteered approximately 400 hours to this organization alone in 2025!

Global Health Outreach: Provide needed medical care, dental care, and medicine to those in 3rd world countries and refugees in Clarkston. In only a week, Dr. Emily Ferrara and her colleagues served over 1,000 patients in rural El Salvador, some of whom walked for 3 days to receive medical care.

Mothers Advocacy Program: Support families with evidence-based, trauma-informed interventions that create long-term stability and advocate for healthy families, one mom at a time. MAP’s vision is to break the intergenerational cycle of maltreatment and trauma in women-led families.

Ground for Growth: Ground for Growth offers subsidized marriage counseling, parent coaching, and spiritual direction services designed to nurture and grow families through relationships with God and each other. With generous financial donors and service partners, G4G has been able to provide more than 150 service hours to date in 2025.

Ruth Project: The Ruth Project’s mission is to end the modern-day orphan crisis. We gave money to help pay for programming, training, food, and support for over 500 foster care kids and their adoptive families. 

We invite you to join us in this meaningful journey. By participating in therapy, you are helping to create a ripple effect of healing and support. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most. Let’s continue to steward what we’ve been given and use it to serve others in our community and beyond!
