Equity Statement
HopeWorks Counseling
We believe every person bears the image of God and is therefore worthy of care that is competent, compassionate, and actually within reach. In North Texas, mental health care is too often rationed by ZIP code, income, insurance status, and language — and the people most likely to go without are frequently the ones carrying the heaviest burdens.
HopeWorks exists to close that gap. Because we are a nonprofit rather than a private practice, we set fees according to what a person can pay rather than what the market will bear, and we reserve capacity for those who can pay little or nothing. We serve roughly 20 North Texas counties, including rural communities where the nearest licensed counselor may be an hour's drive away, and we provide telehealth so that distance, transportation, work schedules, and caregiving responsibilities are not the reason someone goes untreated.
We welcome and serve people of every race, ethnicity, national origin, age, ability, and economic circumstance, whether or not they share our faith. We are working to build a counseling team that reflects the communities we serve, to expand the languages in which care is available, and to keep listening to the pastors, physicians, schools, and agencies who refer to us about where our care is still hard to reach.
For us, equity is not a position — it is the reason our doors stay open to the people the system prices out.
