At Bridge of Hope Mental Health Services, we understand that choosing the right provider is a deeply personal decision. Our mission is to offer compassionate, high-quality care that empowers individuals and families to thrive. Here’s what sets us apart:
We believe that every client is important and should have access to treatment staff and essential services throughout the week. Bridge of Hope’s counselors work closely with Certified Recovery Mentors, medical providers, and administrative staff to ensure high quality wraparound care.
We offer a curriculum that features both evidenced-based treatment modalities and holistic therapies, designed to treat the mind and the body. Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques become even more effective when combined with physical activity and/or creative expression.
All clinical staff at Bridge of Hope have the benefit of working closely with a highly-skilled and experienced leadership team of counseling professionals. Our Program Director and Clinical Supervisor are both dually-credentialed and each has 14 years of hands-on experience in the behavioral health field.
Each client is unique, and their treatment plan goals should be a reflection of their individual strengths, needs, and preferences. Clients are encouraged to work with their primary counselor to map out their next steps and design a blueprint for recovery.
We utilize specific treatment interventions that focus on identifying and leveraging individual strengths to foster personal growth and improve wellbeing. These interventions enhance resilience, boost confidence, and help individuals overcome challenges by building on existing competencies.
Our clients consistently report improved well-being, greater resilience, and a deeper sense of empowerment through our services.
