We have new sliding fee rates to help be even more affordable during this COVID-19 Crisis.

At Hope for the Heart Counseling, we understand that the biggest road block to coming to therapy is not just having to confront emotional hurt/pain, but often times it is the fear of financial burden that it can cause. While each therapist at Hope for the Heart Counseling is educated in the highest level of training for individual, family, and marriage counseling, we want to provide professional care that is based upon each individual’s family annual income and family size to maintain competitive and affordable rates for our clients. To find out more regarding our sliding fee scale rates please contact your therapist of choice. 
We accept credit card, check, cash, and flex spending cards (No cash or check if session is tele-therapy)

Insurance

In order to offer a sliding fee scale to Denton County and the entire state of Texas, Hope for the Heart Counseling does not file in network insurance claims; however, as a courtesy to our clients that do have insurance we will offer to help file out of network insurance claims for each session. Please be aware that most major insurance policies will not reimburse for marriage or family counseling sessions. When you speak with a therapist at Hope for the Heart Counseling regarding scheduling and fees let them know that you are interested in out of network reimbursement in order to be provided with step by step instructions on how to file an out of network claim.

Brittany Brumit Owner:

My journey to becoming a therapist started from a very early age with family and friends always coming to me for advice, love, care, and encouragement. I began attending Abilene Christian University as Pre-Med major studying to become a pediatric oncologist. However, I learned during my first year at ACU, even with good grades, that pediatric oncology was not the path that God had in store for me. When having anxiety on what direction to take, my husband suggested that I become a therapist and he couldn’t have been more right. His reasoning for this path was that it was something that I had always done and do every day by showing the love of God to others through words and listening. From that point, I changed my major to psychology, finished my Bachelor’s of Science, and enrolled into Abilene Christian University’s Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a fully licensed as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor. I worked for Texas Health Behavioral Health Hospital in their inpatient and intensive outpatient units before working full time in private practice in Denton, TX at Lifeway Counseling Center. Hope for the Heart Counseling was opened in January 2017, with the help of God and my husband, to continue to allow me the opportunity to walk hand and hand with others that are needing hope in their hearts

When an individual is not in their true self they become out of balance and so does their relationships. This leads to a negative interactional cycle that causes increased insecurity, loss of self-worth, value, and hope. Our experience entails working with families, couples, individuals, and adolescents that are searching for their true self. To love others, you must love yourself first in order to not get caught in a vicious cycle. We place a strong emphasis on the following: understanding your own interactional cycles and how it affects communication and understanding within your relationships, understanding your own story and how that drives thoughts and behaviors, and strengthening your sense of self.
