Our Counseling
Our mission is to bring hope and encouragement with Christ-like love to emotionally hurting people.
Regardless of what challenges you are facing, Hope Alive is a place of safety and acceptance, encouragement and support, faith and hope.
We want everyone who walks through our doors to feel valued, loved, and seen; because, we believe everyone is a person of incredible worth.
Hope Alive seeks to break down the financial barriers that often keep people from seeking the help they need. That is why our counseling services are available to anyone in need, regardless of their ability to pay.
Cost should never be a barrier to hope.
Hope Alive seeks to remove financial barriers to mental health care. Professional counseling is available for just $25 per session—a fraction of Indiana’s average cost of $132. Reduced rates are available for those who need them, so cost never has to stand in the way of getting help.*

Counseling Interns:
Our counseling program is staffed by professionally licensed counselors in addition to multiple masters-level counseling interns. Our interns, having completed the majority of their coursework necessary for obtaining a Master’s Degree in Counseling, Social Work, or a related field, complete clinical practice hours required by their universities and the State of Indiana prior to graduation and licensure. Our interns meet with a licensed counselor weekly for clinical supervision and support.
If you are interested in Hope Alive’s Internship Program and are pursing a Master’s Degree in Counseling, Social Work, or a related field, we’d love to hear from you! We accept resumes on an ongoing basis. Please contact our clinical supervisor at dawne@hopealivefortwayne.org for more information.
