WHEN YOU ARE IN TRANSITION, YOU NEED YOUR TRIBE. WE’RE READY TO COLLABORATE AND BRING ABOUT THE POSITIVE CHANGE YOU ARE SEEKING FOR YOURSELF, YOUR CAUSE, YOUR ORGANIZATION, OR YOUR COMMUNITY.
ABOUT TRIBE
Mental health impacts every aspect of the human experience – our relationships, our physical health, our self-worth and our destiny. It affects how we communicate, how we act, how we react, how we connect with our family, neighbors and community – and how we don’t.
Right now, our national mental health is in crisis – and there’s often a stigma around that conversation. But It doesn’t have to be that way.
That is our main focus at Tribe Consulting. We are a diverse team of experts focused on building meaningful connections for individuals and organizations seeking positive change and successful outcomes.
Our mission is to empower the disenfranchised, the marginalized and vulnerable communities through mental health outreach and counseling, advocacy, education, public policy, fundraising, thought leadership and collaboration. We advocate for the responsiveness of organizations, communities and other social institutions to individuals’ needs and social problems.
With strategic thought and a progressive viewpoint, we believe that everyone has the capacity and the skills to take positive action for themselves, their loved ones and their neighbors – they often just need a little encouragement.
Whether you’re initiating a wellness program, thought leadership effort, capital campaign or political campaign, we bring the proven resources to foster and support your success.
When you or your organization are in transition, you need your Tribe. We’re ready to collaborate and bring about the positive change you are seeking for yourself, your cause, or community.

Testimonials
Losing a child is the worst thing you can imagine. Mary Beth came to our home and created a safe place to talk and process. She understood all the crazy turns the heart and mind take.
Mary Beth understands because she has been through it but truly has the gift of bringing clarity, a warm heart that helps you accept what you can’t change without “putting a bandaid on anything”. The honesty about what happened helped me continue to grow for myself and my family.
-SHELLEY B.
I could write a book about the incredible help and support Mary Beth gave our family after our oldest son was tragically killed in a car accident. She cared for my husband, our two other children, and me with love, empathy, compassion and consistency. She gave up precious time of her own to do whatever it took to help us. Mary Beth carried us through some of the darkest days of our lives with her knowledge, experience, and tenderheartedness. She explained that we all grieve differently and she listened to us without judgement. Through all of the tears and sadness, there was also laughter because with Mary Beth, we felt safe to laugh occasionally. By the grace of God and Mary Beth's selfless determination we are still standing. I have so much love and respect for her as so many others do too. I am honored to call her my friend.
-SUSAN F.
Mary Beth is a natural connector—her story (stories), her heart for helping others, education, experience — expertise — and the way she ‘sees’ the big picture—invaluable.
It is a complete privilege to share with Mary Beth on any level. I am honored to call her friend, business associate, and mentor.
However, you can be a part of Tribe Consulting—100% join in, experience Mary Beth's thoughtful guidance, and be part of the positive difference!
