Areas of Expertise
Specialized Healing: Nurturing Mental Wellness and Resilience at Hopeful Heart Counseling.
Individualized & Family Therapy
We specialize in helping clients restore balance in their lives. We work with individuals and families impacted by substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Our therapy services include individual counseling and family therapy for all ages.
Psychotherapy
We also offer psychotherapy, a form of talk therapy that helps clients explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, supportive environment. We use a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches to help clients address a range of mental health concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
We are trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, an evidence-based treatment approach that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health issues. We use CBT to help clients manage anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.
Solution Focused
Solution-focused therapy, also known as "brief therapy," centers on clients' goals rather than their problems or mental health issues. We guide clients in envisioning a positive future and outline the small and large changes needed to achieve their vision. Successes are emphasized to encourage building on strengths rather than dwelling on problems or limitations.
