Who We Are
At Hope is Here, we believe that counseling is a partnership. You get to share your unique personality and needs and we share the tools that you need to heal, grow and reach your goals. We take a practical approach to counseling.
Our team has fluctuated over time, but at our core, our counselors are down to earth, funny (at least we think we are LOL), and are passionate about change. Keep reading below to learn more about our current counselors' experience and qualifications to see if they will be a good fit for you.
