Our story

Born from
frontline experience

Clear Skies was born from years of experience in the mental health field. As a therapist, Melissa Kohler witnessed firsthand what so many providers see but rarely have the power to change: people ready and willing to do the hard work of healing, held back by nothing more than cost, logistics, or a shortage of available care.

"A neighbor helping neighbors, rolling up its sleeves alongside local providers, families, and supporters to weave a stronger, healthier community from the ground up."

Determined to do something about it, Melissa channeled everything she had learned inside the therapy room into something bigger: a community-driven foundation rooted right here in Treasure Valley.

Melissa Kohler, Founder of Clear Skies Hope and Healing Foundation

Clear Skies transforms lives by connecting individuals and families with free, trauma-informed therapy, removing the financial and structural barriers that should never stand between a person and healing. We are committed to culturally responsive care that honors the dignity, identity, and lived experience of every person we serve.

Our nonprofit exists to open doors, not close them, by removing the financial and practical barriers that so often stand between people and the mental health care they deserve. Through partnerships with trusted, community-based providers, we fund and subsidize trauma-informed psychotherapy for individuals and families who might otherwise go without. We are independent of any political or religious affiliation, and every donation goes directly toward making compassionate care more accessible.

We meet people where they are. Whether a family is navigating the aftermath of trauma, a child needs consistent therapeutic support, or an individual is simply struggling to find affordable care, we work to bridge the gap. From supporting families in meeting basic needs to championing broader initiatives that strengthen mental health resources across our community, we are committed to building a place where wellness is truly within everyone's reach.
