Take your first step toward hope.

At Nurturing Hope, we provide a safe, compassionate space where healing begins. If you're dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, or life's surprises, our expert therapists are ready to help you.

Welcome to Nurturing Hope
A place where healing begins, and hope is nurtured.

Do you ever feel like you’re barely keeping it together, even though everything seems “fine” on the outside?

Is your child or teen acting out, shutting down, or struggling in ways that leave you feeling helpless or overwhelmed?

Are you facing transitions you didn’t ask for—like loss, identity shifts, or relationship changes—and wondering how to cope?

Do you or your child ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s just never good enough?

You don’t have to carry this alone.

Life can be heavy. Sometimes it’s filled with things we didn’t choose—grief, trauma, anxiety, confusion—and sometimes it’s just too much.
Whatever you’re holding, whatever your story, there is room for you here. There is room for healing.

You don’t have to wait for things to fall apart before reaching out.

Therapy isn’t about being broken—it’s about being brave enough to look inward and say, something needs to change.
At Nurturing Hope, we work with children, teens, adults, and families to create a safe space where growth, resilience, and real change can take root.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns, pain, and possibilities in your life.
You’ll gain tools to cope, space to breathe, and a renewed sense of self.

We support people through:

  • Grief and loss

  • Childhood or relational trauma

  • Parenting stress and family conflict

  • Chronic illness or caregiver burnout

  • Identity discovery and major life transitions

  • Athlete mindset

Our mission is to hold space for hope—to help you reconnect with yourself, your strengths, and your story.

We believe meaningful change is possible, and healing can happen when compassion meets courage.

You are worthy of compassion.
You are allowed to ask for help.
You deserve hope—and a path forward.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to take the first step.

Let’s begin—together.
Reach out today. Let’s start your journey toward healing, connection, and hope.

About Us

Chelsey Winegar, LCSW

I'm passionate about connecting with people of all ages and helping them discover their inner strengths to navigate life's challenges. With over 15 years of experience, I believe therapy can be both healing and hopeful, even when tackling tough topics. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and even fun space for children and teens navigating overwhelming emotions, teen athletes aiming for peak performance, adults dealing with critical illness, or caregivers experiencing burnout. It's a privilege to support you on your journey to healing.

Beyond my professional life, I'm a wife and mom who thrives on family adventures, especially outdoors. I also enjoy reading, cooking, and baking (despite the flour-covered aftermath!).
