Our Values
Integrity
We uphold the highest ethical standard of integrity, ensuring your privacy, respecting your values, and providing authentic, evidence-based practices. This isn’t about judgment; it’s about creating a safe space where you can be your true self, explore vulnerabilities, and grow with confidence.
Compassion
In the midst of life’s struggles, compassion acts as our guiding light. It’s not just feeling sorry for someone; it’s actively understanding their pain, offering a listening ear, and extending unwavering support. At its core, compassion reflects the very essence of Christ’s message – one of love and acceptance.
Expertise
We view our expertise as a tool. It allows us to offer evidence-based practices tailored to your individual needs, all while respecting your values and beliefs. We walk alongside you, not above you, providing support and guidance along the path to healing and growth.

Christ-centered therapy at HopeWay utilizes Christian teachings, wisdom, and values to guide our therapeutic approach. Our counselors will always ask you what your needs and preferences are for integrating your faith in to the treatment and will seek to encourage your spiritual growth on your recovery journey.
While specifics can vary depending on our therapist’s approach and your needs, generally speaking, your therapist will ask questions to help you gain deeper insight into your situation. You’ll discuss the challenges you’re facing, your thoughts and feelings surrounding them, and any recent experiences that are relevant — with the end goal of greater understanding and supported mental well-being.
