Healing the community one family at a time
We are here for you.
We believe that individuals desire to be healthy and whole, however they may not quite know how to navigate their way through life's challenges and setbacks. Hope & Healing Counseling Services, LLC. was created to assist individuals, families, and groups in understanding how life has affected them, and partnering with them in developing a course of action in coping with and overcoming those challenges.
Our team uses a combination of faith, love, and therapeutic models to provide services that are catered to African Americans and other communities of color. We are aware that life's challenges cross cultural boundaries, therefore, so do our services.

Types of Services
Intake Session (60 + Min)
Our intake session is the initial session in which we discuss our mutual expectations for therapy, review our therapy agreement, and any other documents. Subsequent sessions typically last for approximately 45 minutes.
Diagnostic Assessment (60 + min)
We provide comprehensive diagnostic assessments conducted in the cultural context of the recipient. At the completion of the assessment, a detailed treatment plan is developed in partnership with you.
Explanation of Findings
The purpose of explanation of findings is to discuss the results of the diagnostic assessment, psychological tests, and other accumulated data and make recommendations in regard to the recipient’s treatment plan.
Individual Counseling Session
Our therapists focus on developing one to one professional relationships with individuals. This relationship can take on many facets depending upon the modality the therapist is using, but most often involves the creation of a mutually-accepting environment along with the use of techniques for the purpose of decreasing symptoms and/or personal growth. We walk alongside and encourage individuals to engage in a self-reflective process of their emotions and behaviors in an effort to assist them in becoming healed, healthy, and whole.
Family Counseling Session
Family therapy involves an intense focus on improving the communication pattern within the family. Our family counseling involves the therapist entering the family's way of life more directly. Families bring their habits and routines with each other directly into the session. The therapist is involved in analyzing and offering feedback about the interactions the family is having, and makes suggestions about ways to improve them. It is typically more intensive than individual counseling because two or more family members are invited to co-create the process of change.
Group Counseling Session
Group therapy typically rests upon the kinetic interaction of the members of the group. Participants usually have the same, or similar diagnoses, and challenges. We have groups for children, teenagers and adults. The emphasis is on helping participants understand the projection they have toward other members, while learning from the feedback they receive from others, including the therapist.
Auricular Acupuncture
Auricular acupuncture is the stimulation of acupuncture points on the external ear surface to assist in reducing stress.
Ear acupuncture has proven to be an efficient method of treating a wide variety of conditions, from headaches and allergies to addictions and pain disorders as well as stress reduction.
