Mental Health Practice – Hope Wellness Center
Hope Wellness Center operates in Elkhart, Indiana, with additional services available in Mishawaka. The center was developed to provide, in its own words, hope and healing for people burdened with emotional and relational distress. Rather than functioning as a conventional group practice, the center is structured as a collective of independent therapists who contract for shared office space and shared administrative support services.
The Elkhart/Goshen clinical team includes Aubrey Hunsberger (MA, LMHC), Candace K. Schwartz (MS, LMHC), Kevin E. Ness (MSW, LCSW), Ryan D. Peachey (MSW, LCSW), Jessica Peachey (LMHC), Heath Fervida (PsyD, HSPP, MDiv), Tyler Borsa (LMFT), and Helen Gentz (LMHC, LCAC). The Mishawaka location is served by Joel McArthur (MA, LMHC, LCAC, ASDCS, CSTIP, ADHD-CCSP). Across both locations, credentialed providers include licensed mental health counselors, licensed clinical social workers, a licensed marriage and family therapist, a psychologist, and an addiction counselor.
Clinical presentations addressed include depression, anxiety, phobias, PTSD, complex PTSD, trauma, relational distress, marriage and family issues, postpartum concerns, grief and loss, ADHD, and addictions. The practice serves children, adolescents, couples, families, and individuals across the lifespan, with the range of credentialed providers allowing for varied clinical approaches suited to different presenting needs.
Stated treatment frameworks include cognitive behavioral, strength-based, attachment-based, and trauma-focused approaches. A specialty offering called Restoration Therapy is listed for work with generational wounds and deep relational patterns that affect current functioning. The independent-contractor model means clients may work with a particular therapist rather than the center as an entity, which the structure is designed to accommodate. The breadth of credentials across the team, including master’s-level counselors, clinical social workers, a psychologist, a marriage and family therapist, and an addiction specialist, allows the center to address a wide clinical range within its two Indiana locations. Online appointment scheduling is available through the practice website. Both insurance and self-pay options are accepted, though specific insurance carriers are not listed. Contact is available by phone at (574) 830-5778 ext 0. The year of establishment is not provided.
