About Us

Prism Connection is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization in Arizona dedicated to expanding access to care, education, and support for lgbtq+, black, and underserved communities.

Our Roots

Prism Connection was founded out of the work of Prism Counseling & Coaching, which has served the Valley for more than 13 years. While Prism Counseling & Coaching continues to provide direct pastoral counseling and spiritually-integrated care, Prism Connection was created to expand that reach through donations, partnerships, and community education.

What We Offer

Prism Connection works to reduce barriers to care and strengthen community well-being through:
  • Education – Free workshops and seminars that equip caregivers, leaders, and everyday people with practical tools to support others
  • Spiritual Care Training – Delivery of the nationally recognized ACPE Spiritual Care Specialist course, preparing caregivers of all types to respond with compassion and skill
  • Provider Connections – Linking individuals, couples, and families with trusted pastoral counselors, therapists, and care providers
  • Counseling Scholarships – Modest assistance, supported in part by our DISC programs, for those unable to afford care due to high deductibles, lack of coverage, or financial hardship
Our programs are especially impactful for underserved populations, including Black families, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others who too often face barriers to care.

Our Commitment

Prism Connection believes care should be:
  • Accessible – No one should be excluded because of income or insurance status
  • Flexible – People deserve the freedom to choose the provider who is right for them
  • Rooted in dignity – Every person’s story matters

Why This Support Matters

Each week, people reach out for care they cannot afford, while community leaders seek better tools to support those they serve. Prism Connection meets this need by combining education, connection, and targeted scholarships that make compassionate care more available.

​We are a small nonprofit with a growing impact. To sustain and expand our work, we rely on donations and partnerships from those who believe in making care more accessible for underserved communities in Arizona.
