Counseling - Individual and Group
Women often carry the emotional weight and stress in the family. Relationship problems, economic difficulties, and domestic violence can create an enormous stress - physically, mentally, and spiritually, resulting in a lack of mental health and well being for the individual and the family at large.
Our licensed therapists provide assessment for trauma, substance abuse, and self-harming behaviors, as well as evaluation for literacy, communication needs, and legal issues during our intake process. Together with our clients, we form treatment plans for individual, group, or family sessions that integrate services creating a holistic approach to our services.
Literacy Program
Our Literacy Program is developed especially to help women communicate in their everyday lives through reading, writing, and speaking. From basic reading skills to learning more sophisticated reading and writing skills, Heart Ministries teaches women to develop both learned and inherent skills. Learning communication and self promotion skills, women can learn to open doors to jobs, higher income, and self improvement. Securing a job that supports their families can increase a woman’s confidence and self-esteem. This program is offered as needed.

Emergency Legal Services
This type of advocacy includes representing the interests of, and offering support to women in civil and criminal legal settings. This program educates and guides clients through the criminal justice process while providing emotional support.
We integrate a holistic approach to legal services. Legal issues often accelerate into a destabilizing crisis. The legal clinic’s position within the Heart Ministries organization closes the typical gap that exists between legal work and social work by connecting our clients with support and service programs that can lead to meaningful and sustainable change within their lives.
