💛 Is Children’s Therapy Right for My Child? 💛
Children’s therapy can be a valuable support for families when a child is navigating emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges. If your child seems overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or is struggling with behavior at home or school, therapy can help provide guidance and tools to cope more effectively.
Therapy is especially helpful for children experiencing family transitions, grief, difficult life events, or challenges expressing emotions. In a safe, encouraging environment, kids learn to understand their feelings, build healthy coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience.
Over time, children often gain confidence, improve self-awareness, and develop stronger, more positive relationships. These skills create a solid foundation for long-term emotional health and overall well-being. 🌿

🌿 Growing with Our Community 🌿
As our community evolves, Hope Counseling Center remains committed to our mission of providing compassionate, high-quality mental health care to those who need it most.

Hope starts here. đź’›

đź’› Become a Heart for Hope Monthly Donor đź’›
Someone you know in our community is struggling with their mental health. These challenges do not discriminate. They affect people of all backgrounds, ages, and walks of life.
By becoming a Heart for Hope Monthly Donor, you help provide one or more counseling sessions each month to an individual who may not otherwise be able to afford care. Your ongoing support creates consistency, stability, and access to healing for those who need it most.
✨ Monthly giving starts at just $30 a month, or $1 a day, and makes a meaningful difference all year long.
When you give monthly, you are not just donating. You are walking alongside someone on their journey toward hope and healing. đź’š

Going into therapy can feel uncertain, especially if you are not sure what to expect. Understanding the role of a therapist can help make that first step feel more grounded and intentional.
A therapist’s role is not to give quick answers or tell you what to do. Instead, therapy provides a supportive, judgment-free space where you can openly share your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. A trusted counselor helps guide self-reflection, build emotional awareness, and offer new perspectives that support growth and healing.
Therapy is more than conversation. It is a structured process that can help you recognize patterns, explore past experiences, develop coping strategies, and strengthen your overall mental well-being. Because everyone’s needs are different, counseling is tailored to your goals, whether that is managing stress, improving relationships, or navigating life transitions.
At Hope Counseling Center, our team meets you where you are and walks alongside you at your own pace, helping you gain clarity, resilience, and lasting insight. 🌿

💼💛 Supporting Employee Mental Health Starts with Intentional Care 💛💼
As companies look ahead to a new year, many are asking an important question: How can we better support our employees, not just professionally, but personally?
Mental health is a vital part of workplace well-being. When employees feel supported emotionally, organizations see stronger engagement, reduced burnout, and healthier teams overall. 🌿
At Hope Counseling Center, our Partner Program offers businesses, churches, and organizations an affordable, transparent way to provide professional counseling support to their teams. It’s a meaningful benefit that shows employees they’re valued, as people, not just as workers.
This saying shows up often in therapy — not just for clients, but for the loved ones who care deeply about them.
We frequently hear worries like: “I wish they would just go to therapy.” And while therapy can be incredibly helpful, it only works when someone is ready — ready to be honest, ready for change, and ready to accept where they are right now.
You can encourage. You can support. You can model healthy coping.
But you can’t do the work for someone else.
Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is meet people where they are, trust their timing, and focus on our own growth in the meantime. Healing isn’t forced — it’s chosen. 🌿

💛 Welcome Our New Intern — Seth Lingafelter! 💛
We’re excited to welcome Seth Lingafelter to the Hope Counseling Center team! Seth is currently open to seeing clients and is eager to begin walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys.
As an intern, Seth provides counseling services under the supervision of licensed professionals, offering a supportive, thoughtful space for those looking to start therapy. This can be a great option if you’re new to counseling or seeking accessible care.
At Hope Counseling Center, we believe no one should be turned away from mental health care because of cost. That’s why we created Bridge to Hope, a program designed to remove financial barriers and help people take their first step toward healing.
Bridge to Hope provides five free counseling sessions for uninsured, income-eligible individuals who live or work in Southwest Missouri. It’s meant to offer support, stability, and a place to begin when access feels out of reach.
If you or someone you know could benefit from this program, please reach out. Hope starts with one conversation, and we’re here to walk alongside you. 💚

Taking that first step can feel intimidating, especially if you’re unsure what to expect. But sometimes the best way to begin is by hearing from others who have been where you are. 🌿
✨ Our client testimonials share real experiences of hope, healing, courage, and growth. These stories remind us that therapy isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a step toward understanding, connection, and change.
If you’ve been hesitant to reach out, we invite you to explore these voices of hope. You might just find someone whose story resonates with yours. 💚
As we step into a new year filled with new goals and fresh intentions, one powerful way to make a difference is through monthly giving.
By becoming a monthly donor to Hope Counseling Center, you help provide consistent, reliable support for individuals and families seeking mental health care, removing barriers and creating ongoing access to healing. Even a small monthly gift can make a meaningful, lasting impact over time.
Monthly giving allows us to plan, grow, and continue breaking the stigma around mental health while meeting our community’s needs all year long.
As you set your goals for the year ahead, consider making hope part of your monthly rhythm. đź’š
💛 Happy New Year from Hope Counseling Center! 💛🎉
As we step into a new year, we’re holding space for fresh beginnings, continued healing, and hope for what’s ahead. Whether this past year was one of growth, survival, or simply getting through, you made it, and that matters.
May the year ahead bring moments of clarity, connection, and compassion, for others and for yourself. And remember, you don’t have to walk this next chapter alone.
Wishing you a gentle, grounded, and hope-filled New Year. 🌿✨

đź’š As We Close Out the Year, Thank You đź’š
As we reflect on this past year, our hearts are full of gratitude. To our clients, community partners, donors, supporters, and friends, thank you for believing in the mission of Hope Counseling Center and for showing up for mental health in our community.
Because of your support, we’ve been able to expand access to counseling, walk alongside individuals and families through difficult seasons, and continue breaking down the stigma that too often surrounds mental health care.
Looking ahead to the new year, our hope remains strong: to keep the conversation going, to make help more accessible, and to remind people that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Thank you for helping us build a community where hope, healing, and understanding can grow. We’re honored to walk into the next year together. 💛

Faith Community Health (FAiTH) is a Christian faith-based charitable clinic providing medical, vision, mental health and prescription services at affordable income-based rates. Our services are available to our neighbors living or working in Ozark Mountain Country, including all of Taney and Stone counties. Sharing God’s love through whole person care is the heartbeat of what we do. It’s our mission to provide access to affordable healthcare for the under-served who live or work in our community.
Registration to demonstrate financial need is necessary for income-based assistance. Our patients pay a portion of the cost of their care, ensuring that they have a personal commitment to improving their own health. We offer classes designed to promote wellness of spirit, mind and body for our clients, helping them learn how to enjoy healthier lifestyles.
In addition to primary care, FAiTH offers a full service medication office five days a week to meet the pharmaceutical needs of our patients. Patients have access to all of their prescription needs for a simple $10 monthly administrative fee. Prescriptions may be filled at area pharmacies if patients prefer or if we are unable to supply a particular need. We do not dispense narcotics.
Same day urgent care visits are available with KwikCare for just $75 or less. Patients may be seen in person or via KwikCare Online in our clinic. Services include treatment for colds and flu, stomach viruses, allergies, strep throat, urinary tract infections, bug bites, bee stings, minor cuts and burns, strains and sprains.
Our patients also have access to vision care services that offer income-based exam fees and low, affordable prices for eye wear, saving our patients hundreds of dollars.
FaithCare is an employer-based healthcare benefit program that provides a solution to area employers for the medical and vision needs of their uninsured workforce. With monthly subscription plans beginning at $29/month for employers and $10 appointment fees for members, FaithCare is an innovative solution to offer direct primary healthcare services for uninsured employees. FaithCare helps businesses improve employee recruitment and retention, equipping them to better respond to labor pressures in a growing economy.
FAiTH is making a big impact in the lives of thousands of hardworking people and their families in our community. We serve hundreds of patients with chronic medical needs like Diabetes, COPD, high blood pressure and cardiac disease. Without our assistance, most of these patients would be unable to obtain the medicines and healthcare needed for them to remain healthy and provide for their families.
Research demonstrates that Faith Community Health creates over $600,000 annually in savings for local hospitals. FAiTH partners with Dispensary of Hope for access to pharmaceuticals for our patients. A comprehensive Dispensary of Hope study showed that charitable clinics like ours offering prescriptions to patients who otherwise could not afford them reduce inpatient admissions by more than half. Emergency department visits decrease by more than 35%, with cost savings greater than 40%. Because most of our patients have no health insurance, hospital care often creates an impossible burden for their families.
We create value. Faith Community Health saves the families of our patients millions of dollars each year while helping them improve their health. Branson area businesses benefit from a healthier workforce with less missed work days and employees who are enabled to provide superior guest services consistently. Cox Medical Center Branson is able to refer patients with limited ability to pay for services to FAiTH to ensure that their ongoing medical needs are met, reducing preventable hospital admissions and ER visits. And the impact of hundreds, perhaps thousands of patients having the resources they need to remain healthy and in the workforce, supporting their families rather than growing dependent on others, is incalculable.
Faith Community Health provides a 10 to 1 return on investment. In other words, the value we provide to our community is 10 times greater than the cost of our operations, thanks to partnerships with organizations like Dispensary of Hope, Direct Relief, AmeriCares, UMKC at MSU School of Pharmacy, the Skaggs Foundation, drug manufacturers, Ozarks Family Vision Centre and CoxHealth.
How do we do this when patient fees cover only a portion of the cost of care? We are dependent on the generous donations of businesses, churches and families who recognize the value of our work and care about the well-being of their friends and neighbors. Without you, Faith Community Health would not be able to bring hope to the more than 6,000 patients we have served. You make a huge difference in the lives of many families. Thank you for caring. May God bless you!
