Hopebound provides weekly, video-based teletherapy to under-resourced middle school and high school students at no or low-cost. In addition to working directly with families, they partner with schools and afterschool programs in Georgia and New Jersey to support adolescents through affordable and proven therapy interventions.

Their therapy services are provided by pre-licensed therapists, who are master’s students studying counseling, social work, clinical psychology, or marriage and family therapy, and pursuing licensure. They provide talk therapy services under professional supervision in order to earn hours. The supervisor is a licensed mental health clinician who meets with Hopebound counselors weekly to review their cases and support them to serve their clients in the best manner possible.
