ST. RAPHAEL COUNSELING:
COMBINING THE HEALING POWER OF JESUS CHRIST WITH EXCELLENT COUNSELING

The Catherine E. McCabe Fund (the “McCabe Fund”) is a charitable initiative established to support St. Raphael Counseling of Catholic Charities of Denver. The McCabe Fund provides financial assistance to individuals and families in need of mental health services by providing them free or subsidized access to professional counseling and therapy at St. Raphael.

The McCabe Fund was established in 2023 by the children of Catherine McCabe, Stephen Fleischer, Devery Geisler and Eugene Fleischer, to honor their mother, Catherine (“Elaine”) McCabe, who personally experienced the effectiveness of quality mental health care combined with the wisdom of the Catholic Church. Throughout her life, Elaine sought to alleviate the suffering of others and strongly believed that quality mental health care should be accessible and affordable for all.

“My siblings and I want to help raise the profile of St. Raphael Counseling and try to make their services more available to those in need,” said Stephen Fleischer. “I would not be Catholic today and would not have been willing to seek therapy years ago were it not for the example of my mother. By combining the healing power of Christ with top notch counseling services, St. Raphael enabled me to better understand the impact of past events on my life and gave me the tools to make it through each day going forward. My siblings and I believe St. Raphael’s plays a crucial role in alleviating the mental health crisis facing our country and hope this Fund will provide an effective way for people to support St. Raphael’s.”

St. Raphael Counseling is a crucial program within Catholic Charities of Denver, dedicated to addressing the mental health challenges faced by individuals from all walks of life. St. Raphael brings together the teachings of the Catholic Church and the very best in clinical care to offer a range of therapeutic services to help individuals cope with various issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relationship problems and more.

The McCabe Fund seeks to raise additional financial resources that will directly contribute to the sustainability and expansion of St. Raphael Counseling. These funds may be used to provide subsidized or free counseling sessions for those who cannot afford regular fees, ensuring that mental health support is accessible to all, irrespective of their financial circumstances.

The McCabe Fund may also support the recruitment and retention of qualified mental health professionals, who play a vital role in delivering effective counseling services. By investing in the development and training of these professionals, the McCabe Fund aims to enhance the overall quality and reach of St. Raphael Counseling.

The McCabe Fund endeavors to create a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and families in the Denver community who are struggling with mental health issues. By strengthening the resources available to St. Raphael Counseling, the McCabe Fund strives to promote emotional well–being, healing, and resilience for those seeking support. Donations to the McCabe Fund, which are tax–deductible, can be made by credit card here on this page or if by check, should be made to “St. Raphael Counseling” with “McCabe Fund” in the memo line.
