Shield Bearer is a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization with professional counseling offices in NW Houston, West Houston, Tomball, Cypress Station, and Montgomery County. On a budget of less than $500,000 we serve an average of 12,000 people per year. Thanks to our volunteers, donors and supporters, we are able to continue to say "yes” to healing the hurting hearts of those turned away due to financial or insurance reasons.
Shield Bearer does not receive any government grants nor take Medicaid or other government insurance. We rely on caring individuals, businesses, churches and family foundations to allow us to continue to say "yes” where so many say "no”.
With over twenty counselors on our team, we can see almost anyone. We choose not to accept clients who have committed crimes against persons. However we see many of their victims.
There are three groups that your support is essential to our continued ability to serve:
Human Traffic Victims – Minor girls and women who have been rescued from human trafficking stops receive counseling services in our offices. Now we are being asked to place counselors in several residential centers.
Victims of Horrendous Crimes – You may have never thought about what happens when a person witnesses or experiences a crime. Shield Bearer has become the key provider for victims who have been denied Crime Victims Assistance for one reason or another.
Active Service Personnel, Veterans and their Families – We have the best military in the world. Our military men and women and their families deserve the best. Shield Bearer has become an important resource to healing relationships negatively affected by military life.
