| - Good Day Reviewers. I wanted to write a review to share my experience as an employee of HOPE Counseling Services. I have been here for over 6 years and I must say its been 6 year of blessings. Katherine M, who is the owner/founder and clinical director of HOPE has been a blessing to me, my family and to our staff. When I first began with HOPE in 2011, I had just moved here from Hawaii and had a very difficult time getting my life started. As a single mother of 4 and I had my struggles. Katherine heard of my struggles and without hesitation she would bless me and my family with a thanksgiving basket and even a Christmas basket to bless my home. She did this knowing others would possibly say things like she should not be doing this because of possible favoritism accusations, But Katherine still did this because in her heart she knew it was something she wanted to do in the goodness of her heart. Katherine did this for other employees as well. These random acts of kindness was done for both clients and with her own staff. This wasn't something that was announced simply because Katherine does these kinds of things out of the kindness of her heart! She doesn't seek/need acknowledgment from others. Just as long as she knows she is able to help those who needs it is more than enough for her. We all know there will always be individuals out there who will speak ill. We live in a very cruel world and its just a given that people will always speak harshly of others even if something good is done....That's just how our world is...we can ever please everyone! Katherine has over 20 years of experience in the social work field so her years in service and knowledge she has is something she openly share with those who are hungry to learn more about serving our community. Katherine often provides support to past employees on how to start up their own because she is a firm believer that we must work together to serve our community. She believe the saying "it takes a village to raise a child".
HOPE offers team building events for their employees because they believe in team work and have unity as a team is just as important as providing services to our clients. The owners take pride in making sure their team is bonded as they know a healthy and happy team overall means a successful agency.
HOPE Counseling Services has been one of the longest standing out patient behavioral health agency for a very good reason! We know what we are doing and we do it well. We have many clinicians who has started off as a student/intern and has moved on to start their own agencies or to other careers because they have gained the knowledge they need in this field from Katherine and our awesome leadership team.
Our leadership team offers the same knowledge they gave gain from Katherine as well as their own experience in this field of work. Our leaders/supervisors is known to provide outstanding support like no other. We have housed many many social work student as well as CPC, MFT, CSW along with BSW and MSW students. Our agency is one of very few agencies in the valley that is certified to provide a learning environment for our future clinicians to provide excellent care for our community. We take pride in what we do at HOPE Counseling Services. In the recent 10/01 tragedy our agency was sought out by major casino's and by one of the city's major insurance companies to provide trauma treatment to those who have been effected by this event. That alone tells you more that what anyone can describe about the services we provide. Our team has been guided by the best simply because she is guided by good faith and is blessed with a golden heart. Those who have been fortunate to be guided and supported by Katherine are fortunate because she has passion and knowledge like no other. Others may have their opinions on this subject but I would always beg to differ simply because I have been blessed to work along side Katherine for more than 6 years. I know that not everyone's experience will be the same as mine, but I can assure you, their will be a lot of positives they would be able to share about their experience with HOPE Counseling Services.
I can go on and on with sharing why HOPE Counseling Services is an amazing place to work for and why Katherine is an amazing leader but I will save them for another time....for now I leave reviewers with one last thought to share.... HOPE Counseling Services opens our door to those who are willing to not just learn about us and the awesome work that we do but to those who just need our services.....we will work with you and help you gain the confidence, skills and tools you need to make your next step for a better tomorrow.
We may not be a perfect agency, but then there is no such thing....So what we can offer is our open hearts to help, our ears to listen and our faith to help those who seek our services.
God Bless and May 2018 bring success, joy and peace to all.
