Embracing Hope Counseling
Embracing Hope Counseling and Consulting fosters inner healing and personal growth by enhancing self-understanding and self-acceptance in a supportive environment.
Our mission is to support our clients in maneuvering some of life’s many challenges to include stress, depression, anxiety, “strong black woman” syndrome, generational trauma, chronic self-abandonment, toxic relationships, codependency, low self-worth, religious trauma/ “church hurt”, spiritual confusion/reclamation of indigenous practices, and so much more.
Our goal is to provide a space of healing which will empower you to embrace your inner truth while working towards becoming the healthiest version of you.
Thank you for inviting us along for the journey.

Your Journey to Healing
Phase 1
Awareness
During the first few sessions, our time will be spent completing the intake assessment, building rapport, and bringing awareness to your primary concerns. This time is also spent ensuring that we are a good fit for one another and implementing the first steps of self-care.
Phase 2
Understanding
We will work on identifying negative thoughts to reframe and work towards healing in the next phase. You will also be taught how to use various skills to support with emotional regulation when faced with triggers. In addition, we will work to identify unhealthy core beliefs and how they may be a hindrance to your growth and identify changes that align you with becoming the person that you desire to be.
Phase 3
Healing
We will support you in accessing the inner healer within you and work to reprogram the beliefs and narratives that no longer serve you.
Phase 4
Being
We will integrate all that you have learned about yourself through your healing and apply it to your life. We will continue to develop tools to help you maintain as you progress.
“During the storms of life that show little love, may your heart be wings and fly above.”

Testimonials
What our clients have to say about working with Embracing Hope, LLC
My therapist has really challenged me to see myself for who I really am. During those moments I have finally started to get to know myself for the first time in my life. I am slowly beginning to love all of me! Some days are better than others but I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything.

This has been a life-changing experience! I began the process broken and totally uncertain of myself. Today, I wouldn’t even recognize the person I have grown to be due to having such an awesome therapist.
