Bridges of Hope Counseling exists to help individuals, couples and families overcome the struggles and obstacles of life by being a place of hope and healing. We believe that healing begins with hope! During counseling we will not just look at what is not working but also focus on what is working and the strengths that you presently have. One area that makes our practice different is we form a team approach, with you, to find the best plan possible in helping you meet your goals.
At Bridges of Hope we also strive to honor and respect you as a person. Our approach is built upon the human need of respect and empathy. You are ultimately the one in control, and responsible for the outcomes of counseling. The counselor’s job it to help be the guide and explore different areas but you always have a choice in the matter.

Presently, we do not accept any forms of insurance. Partly because our goal is not to always find a “diagnosable” problem but instead focus on how things can change. If a diagnosis is warranted this can be provided in order that the best treatment can be given.
Some of the areas of life that we specialize in include: online counseling, spiritual development and counseling, teenage issues and development, grief and bereavement, career and vocational counseling, young adults, pre-marital counseling, identity development, depression, anxiety and adjustment issues. At Bridges of Hope we work individual with each individual, couple or family and you will not be treated as just another “client”. With this in mind we are very capable and able to integrate your belief system, we have experience and expertise in Christianity, into the counseling process but never we will force this into counseling if you do not want to have it included.
We believe that mental health in today’s world is possible to attain and would love to help you experience hope and healing today! Call us at (937) 951-0550, or email us at jeremy@bridgesofhopecounseling.com to schedule an appointment or for more information.
