LOCATION
Davenport, Florida
In Davenport, Florida, Mental Wealth Tribe has become a place where people come not only for therapy, but for connection, clarity, and support. Founded by Licensed Clinical Social Worker Yasmine Dominique-Merveus, the practice was created with one guiding principle: care should reflect the real needs and lived experiences of the people receiving it.

THE CHALLENGE
Growing Demand, Rising Pressure on Cash Flow
As the Mental Wealth Tribe grew, so did its impact. School-based programs, community outreach, and a dedicated team of licensed therapists allowed the practice to reach more people across Florida. With each new client and each expanded service, demand continued to rise, yet behind the scenes, financial pressure was increasing.
Like many health providers, the practice depended on insurance reimbursements that often arrived long after services were delivered. High-interest debt added even more strain, tightening cash flow and leaving less room to focus on the work that mattered most. Yasmine could feel the weight of it. Without reliable working capital to stabilize operations, the momentum her team worked so hard to build was at risk of slowing down, even as more individuals and families sought support.
THE SOLUTION
Partnering With BBIF to Build Stability and Strength
When Yasmine connected with BBIF, she found a partner who wanted to understand not just her numbers, but her mission. BBIF recognized the impact Mental Wealth Tribe was having in its community and took time to listen, ask questions, and learn what the practice needed to thrive.
After reviewing the challenges and goals, BBIF approved funding that allowed Mental Wealth Tribe to consolidate high-interest debt and strengthen working capital. With this support in place, payroll can be met even when insurance reimbursements are delayed, giving the team stability and peace of mind. The funding also smooths daily operations, ensuring steady cash flow as the practice prepares for its next stage of growth.
"The process was seamless, the team incredibly supportive, and I truly felt that BBIF understood my business needs. Their commitment gave me complete confidence that I was partnering with the right organization.”

THE IMPACT
A Stronger Foundation for Healing and Growth
With BBIF’s partnership, Mental Wealth Tribe is stepping into a new season defined by clarity, strength, and renewed possibility. Free from the strain of high-interest debt, the practice can now expand programs, strengthen staff support, and reach more clients across Florida.
For Yasmine, this support represents far more than financial relief. It offers the breathing room she needed to refocus, plan with intention, and move toward the future without constant financial pressure. With stability finally at her back, she can widen access to care that is thoughtful, informed, and deeply supportive for individuals, families, and students throughout the state.
