Our Journey
Hope for the Journey Counseling first opened our doors in January of 2014, and since that time the core mission has remained at the heart of everything we do... to provide a safe place for people to be seen and heard clearly, so that they can begin to heal and grow.
Even in the first session, we strive to create a warm, inviting environment in which each client knows they are cared for, and that you are not alone. We aren’t here to tell you what to do with your life, or your relationships; we are here to help you figure that out for yourself.
As you go through the process of finding your path forward, you will gain understanding of yourself, and your loved ones, and find different, more effective ways to make it all work better. You will find your perspective shifting, your confidence growing, and you will learn how to trust yourself... maybe for the first time.
When you and your partner commit to being here consistently and do the work, you will show up differently for each other at home. You will find clarity, deeper empathy for each other, and it becomes possible to feel connection again.
We invite you to join us on our journey, and we would be privileged to walk with you on your own journey.
Our Philosiphy And Approach
Asking for help takes courage, and we are so glad that you are considering asking us. We want you to feel at home and to know that our office is your safe haven. As a therapist, we know your situation is unique and personal to you, and we want to hear your story.
We hold the following basic beliefs about people. We believe:
-You are a unique individual with intrinsic worth, deserving of love and respect.
-You are doing the best you can, with what you have.
-People can change. It is possible. We witness it every day.
-Change is about doing something different...something that works...and not about just fixing what's "wrong".
-You know yourself better than we do. You are the expert on you. We are here to help you find your voice and direction.
-The most important element of therapy is the relationship between the client(s) and the therapist.
-Change is hard work. But when you commit to taking small steps forward, change happens.
