Young adults in our Transitional and Independent Living programs receive:

Community Services
serving our community...
With HopeSprings Counseling Services, we now offer counseling expertise directly to individuals-mainly youth and families-in the community who are experiencing difficult life situations.
Through HopeSprings, counselors:
- offer therapy through individual, family, and group sessions in office, home, or school environments
- are certified in Theraplay, a child and family therapy based on the natural patterns of playful, healthy interactions between parent and child and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a treatment model that teaches children and parents new skills to help process, manage, and resolve thoughts and feelings related to traumatic life events.
