Where to begin? This question is so frequently asked and the answer is more simple than most think. The answer is to begin by allowing someone to help. Just allowing someone to provide you a space where you can begin your journey with support and acceptance. At the Center For Healing And Hope, therapy provides an environment of acceptance and understanding in which you and your therapist can work together to address any difficulties or challenges you may be facing.
With this partnership, you grow to understand feelings and resolve difficulties that may be standing between you and the most joyful and satisfying life possible. Then you learn to THRIVE...
Our goal is to help client’s feel more empowered, in control and at peace with the challenges they face. The application of various strategies and interventions, from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to Art and Play therapy techniques, allows our therapist's to develop treatment that represents the unique needs of each individual or family.
