Healing Blue Inc. Invests in Its Future with a Business Loan
Maria Martinez, President of Healing Blue Inc., a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Corporation located in Granada Hills, California, founded in 2019, provides psychotherapy and mental health services to individuals and families throughout the San Fernando Valley.
In 2022, Ms. Martinez connected with the North Valley BusinessSource Center (NVBSC) seeking assistance with accessing capital to support the growth of her mental health services practice. Over the years, NVBSC provided ongoing technical assistance, loan packaging support, and access-to-capital counseling to help Ms. Martinez achieve her business goals. In 2022, the center assisted her in securing a microloan that enabled the business to invest in office space, marketing efforts, and staffing.
In 2026, Healing Blue Inc., A Licensed Clinical Social Worker Corporation once again sought assistance when cash flow challenges began impacting the business’s ability to meet payroll obligations. Ms. Martinez approached NVBSC for guidance in obtaining financing to stabilize operations and support her growing practice. After an initial loan application with a traditional lender was declined due to credit-related issues, NVBSC worked closely with ICON CDC’s Lending Department to explore alternative financing options.
Through continued technical assistance, document preparation, and loan packaging support, Healing Blue successfully obtained a microloan for working capital loan through ICON CDC. The financing provided immediate relief for cash flow constraints and enabled the business to continue meeting payroll and operating expenses without interruption.
As a direct result of the loan, Healing Blue Inc., A Licensed Clinical Social Worker Corporation, retained three employees and maintained critical mental health services for the community. The funding helped stabilize the business during a challenging period and positioned the company for continued growth and long-term sustainability.
Healing Blue Inc., A Licensed Clinical Social Worker Corporation, continues to provide high-quality mental health services throughout the San Fernando Valley while maintaining stable operations and employment opportunities within the community. Healing Blue Inc is located in
