Helping Hand Community Counseling: Affordable Mental Health Services

Welcome to

Helping Hand Community Counseling (HHCC)

We are a dedicated non-profit organization focused on providing essential mental health services to individuals and families in need. We understand that life’s challenges can be overwhelming, and sometimes the cost of professional counseling can be a barrier to getting the help you deserve. That’s why we are proud to offer sliding scale scholarships and free crisis counseling to ensure that everyone, regardless of financial situation, has access to the support they need. Our mission is to foster mental wellness and resilience within our community by offering affordable, compassionate counseling services. We believe that everyone deserves access to mental health support, and we are committed to making this a reality for those facing financial hardship.


AHHCC’s affiliated non-profit program, Helping Hand Community Counseling (HHCC), is designed to increase access to mental health services while supporting the training of future clinicians. As part of this program, graduate-level student interns provide all counseling services while completing supervised clinical training. If you receive services through our non-profit program, please note,
your therapist will be a student intern (not a licensed clinician). All services are provided under the supervision of a licensed, qualified supervisor in accordance with Florida law and professional standards. Interns may conduct sessions independently and a qualified supervisor regularly reviews their work to ensure quality care.

Choice & Options:
By enrolling in services through the non-profit program, you acknowledge and understand that services are provided by student interns. If you prefer to work with a licensed clinician, you may request information about services offered through our main practice; these services may differ in availability and cost.

What We Offer

Sliding Scale Scholarships: We offer flexible, sliding scale fees based on your income to ensure that financial constraints don’t prevent you from accessing high-quality mental health care. To qualify for a sliding scale scholarship, applicants are required to submit proof of income.
‍Free Crisis Counseling: Life can bring unexpected crises, and we’re here to help. Our free crisis counseling service is available to anyone facing immediate emotional distress or life challenges, providing a supportive space to navigate difficult situations.
