Counseling at Hope Mountain is more than just a jo, it’s a mission. We’re tired of seeing people fall through the cracks in the mental health system. We ache for people who've been shuttled around by the system, shoved aside, or even ignored.
We are here to stand up and stop that pattern. We’re here for those who’ve struggled to get the help they need from traditional channels. We’re motivated and inspired by the fact that those people are relying on us in a big way.
Are you looking for a chance to make a difference in your community?
