Getting to know Hope Helton

Hello, I am Hope. Are you feeling stuck and like you need to make changes in your life to be happier and more fulfilled? Do things feel out of balance in your relationship with yourself and others? Do you find it harder to be kind to yourself than to a stranger? I have experience helping teen and adult clients, often going through major life transitions. Together, we will work toward better managing stress and anxiety, resolving relationship conflicts, and improving motivation and self-esteem. We'll address your whole self-mind, body, and spirit-to find balance through cognitive therapy, mindfulness, and encouraging yoga and artistic expression to help you better know yourself. I strive to be unbiased and am comfortable working with people from all backgrounds. My work experience is varied across many settings, including individual, family, and group therapy in community mental health agencies, residential treatment facilities, county jails, and private practice both within a group and solo. I believe you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths to help you overcome the challenges you face. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and take the first steps toward needed change. I am here to support and empower you on that journey. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University.

What should a new client know about working with you?

After reviewing your intake and understanding your therapy goals, I find that often the best way to start our relationship by going through a chronological history of your life. This will increase my understanding of where you are coming from in your life. Throughout our work together, we will work to uncover any areas that might be causing you to feel stuck and give guidance on how to move forward with a greater understanding of your patterns, where they came from and how to change them.

In-network insurances

Hope Helton, LCSW has 200+ in-network plans.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
