Reviews of Hope and Healing Child and Family Counseling (Psychologist)

Marshall Shearer-Davis

We adopted our children through foster care. The first few years were so miserable. We were not prepared to parent children of trauma. Hope and healing was our savior. It’s the only thing that has helped our family. Parenting kids the way we were parented does not work for kids with trauma! TBRI works! The counselors are so caring, and they offer so many supports beside just counseling: support groups, classes, conferences and EMDR. They are amazing.

The counselor we were seeing was the absolute best thing about this place, but sadly she has left Hope and Healing and so I need to review the actual company (not our old counselor). It is very difficult to get ahold of people at this agency. They don’t always answer the phone. But that is not my main concern. Beware about relying on this place for your child’s medication. They won’t see you once you stop going to counseling. We accidentally missed our follow up appointment for the medication my daughter was prescribed and because of that, the psychiatric nurse won’t see us anymore. My daughter has three pills left and hopefully our pediatrician (who doesn’t feel comfortable prescribing mood stabilizers) will help us get medication so that my 8 year old doesn’t suffer cold-turkey withdrawal symptoms. I’m beyond frustrated that Hope and Healing told us to go see someone else just for missing one appointment. And the policy of no medication help if you’re not already being seen for counseling is frustrating. My daughter has gotten to the point where she doesn’t need counseling but she is going to need medication for much of her life. Medication isn’t something you just stop taking because you don’t need counseling anymore. In addition, it took an entire week, three attempts at contact by my pharmacy, and a call from me to finally hear back from the psychiatric nurse about whether she could refill my daughter’s prescription. Only to be told we needed to go somewhere else. Cool. It would have been nice to have been told that on the first day we tried to contact you so that I wouldn’t have to scramble in a mad panic to try to find a way to refill these pills that my daughter very desperately needs. Great business practice. Thanks a lot.

Coming here has been so beneficial for my child and for me too. The wait to get in felt long but everywhere else I looked for child therapists had a long wait too. Brent Seegmiller is who we go see and I could not be any happier about it!! He has given my daughter and my husband and I all tools to better our relationships. He’s such a good listener and so good at identifying area to improve and strategies we can try that help. So grateful to be here!

I have been working with Hope and Healing for 3 years now and done a lot of training, therapy, and med management with them. I love Hope and Healing and the staff. The overall affects they have had on our family through learning there have been amazing. We have been working with kids from hard places for 13 years and have seen more growth in our children in the last 3 years since working with Hope and Healing than we ever seen before that. They are committed to helping find ways to heal our children and seeing them as amazing individuals that have a lot of potential and not just seeing their difficult behaviors. My experience is they listen to us and are invested in doing all they can to help us connect and build stronger relationships as a family. They have helped me become a better parent and help me see each of my children individually and figure out their needs, to be able to meet each one where they are, at their level, not just a one way fits every kid. I love Hope and Healing!

Tried to get my 9 year old in for an appointment and they said they didn’t have any availability for 4 weeks! When a child is having problems they usually can’t wait 4 weeks! They just lost our business and I am not impressed.

The things you will learn and the support you’ll receive from the staff and therapists will be Invaluable. The wait is 100% worth it! I only wish we could find a company and people as amazing as them in our town!
