About the Program

What Is the Loveland Therapy Fund?

The Loveland Therapy Fund is a nonprofit initiative dedicated to subsidizing mental health care for Black women and Black nonbinary individuals. Founded by artist and activist Rachel Cargle, Loveland exists because access to quality mental health care has historically been a barrier for Black communities.

Through their voucher program, Loveland covers a significant portion of the therapy cost — so you can show up to your healing without financial anxiety hanging over every session.

If you already have a voucher, The Healing Spot is a participating provider. If you haven't applied yet, visit thelovelandfoundation.org to learn about eligibility and apply.

Why It Matters

You deserve support that centers you.

Black women and Black nonbinary individuals carry unique, compounded stressors — systemic racism, intergenerational trauma, identity-based harm, and the weight of showing up in spaces not built for you. The Loveland Fund exists because your healing is worth investing in. And so do I.

The Financial Breakdown

Here's Exactly How the Money Works

No guessing, no hidden fees. Here is the full picture of what you pay, what Loveland covers, and how we work together on your behalf.

My Full Rate $215 Standard per-session rate for individual therapy

You Pay $95 Your out-of-pocket cost per session with an active voucher

Loveland Covers $120 Loveland reimburses me the difference after each session

How it works

You pay $95 at the time of your session. After we meet, I submit the session to Loveland and they reimburse me the remaining $120 directly — you never have to manage the reimbursement process. Simple, straightforward, taken care of.

Show Up & Heal

Focus on your healing. The financial logistics are handled — your only job is to be present.

Session Structure

What Happens After Your Voucher Runs Out?

Loveland vouchers are valid for 12 sessions. That's 12 dedicated hours to start building a meaningful therapeutic foundation — developing trust, identifying patterns, beginning to process and release what you've been carrying.

Twelve sessions is enough to create real, lasting shifts. And for many clients, it's also the beginning of wanting to continue. When your voucher period ends, you have options — including a reduced private pay rate that reflects your ongoing investment in your healing.

I believe continuity of care matters. I don't want finances to interrupt the momentum you've built. We'll discuss your options together well before your voucher sessions are used up.

Sessions 1–12

$95 / session

You pay $95. Loveland covers the remaining $120, for your full rate of $215.

Session 13 Onward

$175 / session

After your 12 voucher sessions, you become eligible for a reduced private pay rate of $175/session — a continued investment in the work you've started.

Let's Plan Together

Your path forward

We'll discuss your options and continued care plan before you reach session 12, so there's never a surprise or an abrupt end to your care.

This Space Was Made for You

The Healing Spot is an affirming, identity-conscious practice. Here's who I'm specifically equipped to support.

🖤

Black Women

Whether you're navigating burnout, relationship wounds, anxiety, or the trauma of moving through the world in a Black woman's body — this is a space where you don't have to explain yourself.

🌿

Black Nonbinary Individuals

This practice is fully gender-affirming. Your identity is not a footnote here — it's centered. We work with the whole of who you are.

🧠

Trauma Survivors

Childhood trauma, racial trauma, relational trauma — somatic and EMDR modalities go beyond talk therapy to release what the body holds.

🌀

Neurodivergent Clients

If you're autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent, this practice meets your sensory and processing needs with intentionality — not just accommodation.

🏳️‍🌈

LGBTQIA+ Community

Queer, trans, and nonbinary identities are fully affirmed here. You won't spend your sessions educating your therapist about who you are.

🌍

First-Gen & Immigrant Clients

Holding two worlds, navigating acculturation stress, or processing family separation — we can do this work together. Immigration psychological evaluations also available.

Your Therapist

Shae Ivie-Williams, LPC, SEP

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with over a decade of experience in trauma-informed care. I founded The Healing Spot because I believe healing should be possible for everyone — but especially for Black women and Black nonbinary individuals who have been chronically underserved by the mental health system.

My approach is rooted in the wisdom of the body. Through modalities like Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Soundwork, we work together to move beyond the limits of talk therapy — to release trauma that lives in the nervous system, not just in the story.

✦ Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) ✦ Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) ✦ EMDR Trained ✦ IFS Level 2 Trained ✦ 10+ Years Experience ✦ Loveland Participating Provider

I offer in-person sessions in Atlanta (Sunday–Wednesday) and virtual sessions across Georgia, Florida, California, and South Carolina.

Common Questions

Loveland Voucher FAQ

Everything you need to know before reaching out.

You don't need to have your voucher in hand before booking a consultation. Our free 15–20 minute consultation is a great place to confirm that we're a good fit, discuss logistics, and answer any questions about the process. If you're still in the process of applying to the Loveland Foundation, reach out — we can talk through timing together.

Vouchers are distributed directly through the Loveland Foundation. Eligibility criteria and application windows are managed by them. Visit thelovelandfoundation.org to check current availability and apply. Please note: I am not involved in the voucher application or approval process.

Voucher sessions are counted per completed session. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so in accordance with our cancellation policy — typically 24 hours' notice — so you don't lose access to that voucher session. We'll go over the specific details during your onboarding.

Yes. The Healing Spot offers virtual sessions across Georgia, Florida, California, and South Carolina. If you're located in one of these states and have a Loveland voucher, we can work together via telehealth. You don't have to be in Atlanta to access this care.

The Healing Spot is rooted in somatic and body-based approaches — meaning we work with your nervous system and lived body experience, not just your thoughts. Depending on your goals and presentation, we may integrate Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Soundwork, or Trauma-Informed Breathwork. We'll always move at your pace, with your consent.

After your 12 voucher sessions, you are eligible for a reduced private pay rate of $175 per session — well below my standard rate of $215. This is our way of honoring the work you've already invested in and making it possible to continue without a jarring financial shift. We'll plan for this transition together before you reach that point.
