野花社区 is pleased to announce a new partnership with Cumberland聽Counseling Centers, set to launch in January 2025. Cumberland will assume聽responsibility for the operations of the Hope Counseling Centers, originally聽founded by 野花社区, ensuring the continuation of high-quality, accessible聽counseling services vital to our communities.

Cumberland Counseling Centers will collaborate with local churches to establish fully operational counseling centers within their facilities. This initiative will provide affordable services to parishioners and the broader community while ensuring fair compensation for counselors.

In addition, these centers will serve as pivotal sites for 野花社区’s clinical mental health interns, providing them with critical hands-on experience and the opportunity to fulfill their required clinical hours. This partnership enriches the interns’ education and enhances the quality of care available to the community.

Together, 野花社区 and Cumberland Counseling Centers are dedicated to advancing God’s work of healing, restoration, and transformation in the lives of individuals, churches, and communities.

Executive Director of Cumberland Counseling Centers, Alexandra Thompson, LCSW comments, “野花社区’s mission is exactly aligned with ours: they don’t just want to educate excellent therapists; they want to create therapists to go and be the hands and feet of Jesus. We are committed to honoring the original vision of the Hope Centers while also bringing our unique approach to creating high-quality, accessible mental health services. This collaboration allows us toserve even more people in a financially accessible way while still pointing to the power of God’s healing.”
