impact today
Creative arts therapies work. Most people who need them can't access them. You can help change that.
Why give?
-
✽
Free, always.
Every program Creative Harbor funds is completely free to participants. No insurance, no income test, no sliding scale. Your donation is what makes that possible.
-
✽
Clinically rigorous.
Our programs are facilitated by licensed and supervised creative arts therapists. This is evidence-based clinical treatment, not drop-in programming.
-
✽
Built to last.
A lean contracting model means more funding reaches direct services. Every program we build is replicable for new communities and populations without growing overhead.
-
✽
The gap is real.
Creative arts therapies have a strong and growing evidence base. What they lack is equitable distribution. That's a funding problem, not a clinical one.

Year one, already moving.
Our postpartum support group launched June 2026. The Attachment Studio and Bridge to the Mainland follow this year. The infrastructure is built. The programs are running.

You'll know where your money went.
We publish an annual impact report every December. No inflated metrics, no overclaiming. Just honest accounting of what we did and who we reached.
In King and Snohomish Counties, individuals and families navigating mental health challenges often face the same barrier: the most effective care isn't covered, isn't affordable, or isn't designed for them.
Creative arts therapies - drama therapy, art therapy, music therapy - have a strong and growing evidence base. What they don't have is equitable distribution. That's a funding problem, not a clinical one.
The Gap
Creative Harbor is a lean organization by design. We exist to move funding toward direct clinical programming - not overhead. Your donation funds free group programming for families and individuals who would not otherwise reach this care.
We're in our first year of operation. We won't give you inflated numbers or impact metrics we haven't earned yet. What we can tell you is that every dollar goes toward getting a skilled clinician in front of a community that needs them, for free.
