Healing Grounds Foundation was founded by Tavara Franklin, LPC, from a place of purpose, calling, and more than a decade of clinical experience. After founding Healing Grounds Therapy & Wellness Center in 2020, Tavara witnessed firsthand how deeply emotional healing is tied to access, dignity, and community support. Too many families were navigating financial strain, trauma, and emotional overwhelm without the resources needed to truly heal. 

​

Healing Grounds Foundation was birthed to change that.

​

Grounded in trauma-informed care, the Foundation operates from the understanding that healing does not happen in isolation. It happens when individuals and families feel supported, seen, and safe enough to receive care. Healing Grounds Foundation exists to remove barriers to mental health services and provide holistic, community-centered support that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.

​

Through therapy scholarships, parent education, and wellness initiatives, the Foundation supports families, mothers, and young women with compassion and intention. Programs such as Hope for the Holidays and Crowned & Confident are designed to meet people in real moments of need while restoring dignity, hope, and a sense of belonging.

​

This work is both deeply personal and profoundly communal. Healing Grounds Foundation is rooted in the belief that when families are supported, communities are strengthened, and healing becomes possible for generations to come.
