Please join us in warmly welcoming Michael Lushing as our new Board Chair.

Michael brings more than four decades of professional experience and a lifelong commitment to community service. His leadership has activated community support, expanded civic engagement, and supported long-term community investment across the organizations he has served.

Michael is deeply committed to giving back. He continues his family’s legacy of community involvement through active leadership in Rotary, including service as Assistant Governor in his district and as President of the Beverly Hills Rotary Club.

Michael has served on the Maple Counseling Board since 2012, inspired by the organization’s impact and its unwavering commitment to accessible, community-based mental health care. His involvement with Maple was so meaningful that it led him to pursue a master’s degree in psychology at Antioch University, further deepening his belief in the essential role mental health services play in a thriving community.

As Board Chair, Michael will help steward Maple’s mission, support our leadership and clinical teams, and guide the organization as we continue to respond to evolving community needs. We are incredibly grateful for his long-standing dedication and honored to have his leadership as we move into this next chapter.

Please join us in congratulating and welcoming Michael in his new role.

With Gratitude to Rex Wilder…

I want to extend my sincere thanks to Rex Wilder for his extraordinary leadership as Board Chair. As co-founder of the Briskin | Wilder Welcome Center, Rex helped bring to life a vision rooted in compassion, access, and clarity for those seeking mental health care. The Briskin | Wilder Welcome Center—both a program and a place within Maple Counseling—reflects his deep commitment to ensuring individuals and families are met with guidance, dignity, and support from their very first point of contact.

Through this work, thousands of people have been connected to the care they need. Rex’s insight and unwavering dedication continue to shape Maple’s mission and strengthen our ability to serve the community with purpose and heart. Thank you, Rex!

Thank you for the front-page coverage of Maple Counseling’s annual Tea & Tequila fundraiser!

The evening was a powerful reminder of what compassion can do when a community comes together. Maple Counseling CEO Varina Bleil spoke about the emotional toll the recent LA fires have taken:

“We’ve all witnessed the wildfires that devastated communities and separated neighbors from neighbors—it’s left a deep emotional scar for many people.”

Maple is here to help people heal from those invisible wounds. 💛 Our mission is simple: to make quality mental-health care accessible to everyone, regardless of circumstance.
