About Us
Therapy and Counseling Services for Individuals and Families
At Joining Hands Services, we opened our doors in May 2023 with a heartfelt mission: to build a supportive community within our larger community. We believe that healing isn't just individual—it's familial.
Our focus? Providing mental health services and resources that cater to the unique needs of these families. We understand the toll it takes, not just emotionally, but financially too. That's why we offer our services in a community setting, ensuring accessibility for all. We recognize that taking time off work can be a hardship, so we've designed our approach to be flexible and accommodating.
Whether it's providing support in the comfort of your own home or offering after-hours options for those balancing work and family life, we're here to make things easier for you. Join us at Joining Hands Services, where compassion meets community, and together, we'll navigate this journey toward healing and hope.
