Unorthodox Therapy Attends Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s State of the City, Reinforcing the Role of Nonprofits in Philadelphia’s Future

Philadelphia, PA — Unorthodox Therapy Inc. (UTInc.) was honored to be in attendance at Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s State of the City address, a pivotal moment for understanding where Philadelphia stands today, where it is headed, and what work still lies ahead.

For nonprofits both large and small, events like the State of the City are essential. They provide insight into the city’s priorities, progress, and challenges while offering clarity on how community organizations can align their work with the broader vision for Philadelphia’s future.

The address highlighted achievements across the city while also naming areas that continue to require attention, collaboration, and innovation. For UTInc., being present was not just about listening, but about understanding how to contribute more intentionally as a nonprofit rooted in the city and committed to helping communities thrive.

“As a nonprofit, it is important for us to know where our city is going and how we can be part of the solution,” shared Monychann (Mo) McCarty, founder of Unorthodox Therapy Inc. “We may be a small organization, but we are mighty. Being in rooms like this helps us identify opportunities, gaps, and ways we can support the city through mental health, community care, and women centered healing.”

UTInc. believes that nonprofits play a critical role in strengthening Philadelphia. By staying informed, engaged, and connected to city leadership, organizations can find areas where their work complements policy goals and meets real community needs. Understanding these dynamics allows nonprofits to move with purpose rather than operate in isolation.

The State of the City reinforced the importance of collaboration between government, nonprofits, and community leaders. When these sectors work together, meaningful progress becomes possible.

Unorthodox Therapy remains committed to being an active participant in Philadelphia’s growth. By showing up, listening, and engaging, UTInc. continues to find ways to support the city while staying true to its mission of mental health advocacy, community building, and women’s empowerment.
