Hope and Healing Family Counseling, LLC (HHFC) is a private practice that provides child-focused, trauma-informed mental health services to children, adolescents and families. We empower our clients through play therapy and other means to express their feelings in productive ways, engage in a journey to healing and feel encouraged to move beyond their difficult situation to healthy choices.
Parents and caregivers are invited to join us as valuable partners in their child's experience. Using play therapy, sand tray therapy, parent-child relational therapies and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other treatment modalities, we strive to limit the impact of a traumatic event or relationship so that healthy choices become real options.
All children and families are welcome at HHFC, especially those who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or have a family member with a hearing loss. HHFC therapists are fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), value Deaf culture and are experienced working with children and families touched by hearing loss.
