FIND HOPE

You don’t have to carry this alone.

Life can become overwhelming. Anxiety creeps in. Relationships become strained. Grief settles in. Stress begins to affect every part of life.

Whatever brought you here, we’re glad you found us.

At the Keene Community Impact Center, we believe asking for help is one of the bravest steps a person can take. Our counseling program exists to provide compassionate, professional care in a safe and welcoming environment where healing can begin.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, major life transitions, or simply need someone to walk beside you, we’re here to help.

Professional Counseling. Genuine Compassion.

Our counseling services are provided by licensed mental health professionals, including Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) who are committed to helping individuals, couples, and families find hope and healing.

Support is available for many of life’s challenges, including:

Anxiety and stress
Depression
Marriage and relationship concerns
Family conflict
Grief and loss
Life transitions
Personal growth
Spiritual concerns
Emotional wellness

Because every person’s story is unique, counseling is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Care That Is Accessible

We believe quality mental health care should be available to everyone—not just those who can afford it.

Thanks to the generosity of Keene Church, our Great Stuff Resale Shop, and faithful community donors, counseling is available for a $20 co-pay per session.

The Community Impact Center provides up to six counseling sessions, allowing you to begin your journey toward healing with professional support at an affordable cost.

Appointments are available by Referral and Client Request and are typically scheduled within one week of receiving your completed request.

Healing Doesn’t End After Six Sessions

Counseling is often the beginning of the journey—not the end.

After completing your counseling sessions, we continue walking alongside you through ongoing care and community.

Additional support may include:

Pastoral care
Spiritual encouragement
Life coaching
Peer support groups
Recovery ministries
Community classes
Volunteer opportunities

Healing grows in community, and our desire is to help you build lasting relationships that continue long after counseling has ended.

Everyone Is Welcome

Although we are a Christian counseling ministry, our services are available to anyone in the Johnson County area regardless of faith background.

Our role is not to pressure or persuade.

Our role is to listen, support, encourage, and care.

Counseling is available:

In person
Secure Zoom appointments
English
Spanish

All sessions are confidential and by appointment only.

Why We Call It “Finding Hope”

Hope isn’t pretending everything is okay.
Hope is discovering that you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone.
Sometimes hope looks like finding the courage to ask for help.
Sometimes it looks like someone listening without judgment.
Sometimes it begins with one conversation.
No matter where you find yourself today, there is hope.
And we’d be honored to walk with you.

Healing begins with a single conversation.
