About
At Renovating Hope Counseling we value…
Hope
Hope is basis of this counseling practice, offering clients more than wishful thinking. It represents concrete security, professional guidance, and is the essential tool to kick start the healing journey.
Our therapists provide clients with tangible hope by reminding clients of all that is possible. This loving and steady reminder allows clients to keep moving forward toward healing even when progress may be hard to see.
Authenticity
Authenticity reflects Renovating Hope’s deep commitment to valuing the gritty, unfiltered, and transformative nature of the human experience. We acknowledge that life is full of both joy and pain and we don’t shy away from either. We want to provide a safe place for you to be yourself and feel supported and cared for every step of the way.
Connection
At Renovating Hope, connection is at the core of every interaction. Because of this, we aim to be hospitable at every appointment, ensuring that every client is well cared for from the moment they enter the door. Client’s needs are always anticipated and thoughtfully catered to, right down to having books available on a variety of helpful topics.
However, the true essence of connection at Renovating Hope is found in the therapist-client relationship, where the client’s journey through life is a shared, and they never have to process alone.
