Creating safe spaces for the messy parts of life
At the Hope Counseling Center, we know that life is messy. When we are standing in the middle of our mess, we feel like nobody wants to stand in it with us, but that’s exactly what we do! We believe that God designed us to heal together. Life will always be messy, but with the right tools, Holy Spirit power, and a biblical worldview, we can live a joy-filled life together.
Our Core Values
God’s fruit can grow anywhere.
Given the right environment and tools, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control can be cultivated and experienced in all circumstances. (2 Corinthians 3:17, Colossians 5:22-23)
​
Jesus is enough.
The sacrifice He made is sufficient to give us all the abilities that we need to move through every mess life could give us. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
​
We heal in relationship.
Healing happens together. If we are hurt in relationship, we heal in relationship. We foster healthy relationships that are grounded in mutual trust, honesty, and respect. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)
The Word of God is life.
We believe that scripture is the inherent word of God and it shapes all of our beliefs and worldviews. (Matthew 4:4, 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Clear is kind.
We believe that open, honest, two-way communication must be present in every interaction in order to cultivate healthy relationships. (Matthew 5:37)
We have the mind of Christ.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can transform our minds to think the way that God thinks about ourselves, about Himself, and about other people. God made our brains with the ability to plow new neural pathways to know the truth. (1 Corinthians 2)
