Our goal
Help you survive — and then thrive.
Our goal is to help you survive and thrive after trauma, particularly sexual trauma. No matter what you've been through, how you've been treated, or how unworthy you feel right now, you deserve a chance at a life worth living.
You may wonder if you even have trauma. Most of our clients don't think of themselves as having had a traumatic event — and yet about 70% of American adults have experienced or witnessed at least one. The reality is that something is driving your anxiety and depression. A trauma specialist helps you unhook whatever that is, whether it's simple or complex.

“
Hope For The Journey is one of the most solid teams of mental health professionals that I've had the pleasure of interacting with. They put so much time and effort into being well trained, curious, compassionate, and driven towards providing individuals with the best care possible.
Joshua Adair, LCSW · Referring therapist
We're a nonprofit, so cost shouldn't be the reason you wait. Sliding-scale spots with licensed clinicians and supervised residents are part of how we work.
Not sure who's right for you? That's Nia's whole job.
Call or text, tell her what's going on, and she'll match you with a therapist — usually within a day.
