Service on Saturday, February 24 will be held at the Prosper campus (2000 W Prosper Trail). We will not meet at Frisco East or stream this service online.
Our counseling philosophy is based on two main ideas. First, God did not intend for us to do life alone. Second, we can only be as healthy and whole as we possibly can be when we have a place where we can be ruthlessly honest about ourselves.

We have developed relationships with wonderful Christian counselors and therapists in the area. There is a cost involved on your part, but these are professionals we trust who will give you excellent guidance and Godly principles. Feel free to contact them to check on price and availability.
HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS PAGE:

The counselors and therapists are organized by city/location. Some professionals may be listed more than once. Under their contact info, you will see the types of clientele they are willing to see, such as teens, married couples, etc. You will also see what they have determined to be their top five areas of specialization. Please read their bios to learn which topics or struggles they can assist with.

If you need assistance with this list, please contact us at care@hopefellowship.net.
If you are looking for a group counseling environment, please visit plantingseedsntx.com/current-groups-offered for some great suggestions.

All of these professionals come with their own set of credentials. In the Appendix at the bottom of this page, you will find a brief description of the degrees or certifications (LPC, EMDR, CBT, etc).
