Hopeful Minds Counseling Services - Newberg

"Nadège has gone above and beyond as my therapist. She has implemented various techniques to assist in my progress. She has been an outstanding advocate for me as she makes sure information is clear and coordinated with my doctors. Nadège has been patient and compassionate through good and bad times while providing great advice. She has taught me to have better relationships with loved ones, myself, and to feel more comfortable with vulnerability. As a Black woman, this is the only therapist that I have found to be truly understanding and respectful, while pushing me to be my best self."

"I have so much I want to say about Nadege and Hopeful Minds Counseling. When I was at my darkest, she was there with patience, respect, empathy, support for myself and my family. When I derailed and lost all faith, belief, and strength in myself she was there with words of encouragement, holding me accountable, and pushed me to use the tools she and others had given to me. She has taught me that healing is in the uncomfortable, its in the valley's, its in the peaks, and its in the plateaus. Nadege is honest, thoughtful in her words, and walks alongside you through your highest highs and lowest lows. If you are looking for a deeply compassionate therapist to help you through whatever life is throwing your way, someone to hold you accountable, someone to validate you, someone to help you understand what is and is not within your control, Nadege is exactly who you need."

"Nadège is an excellent therapist and a fantastic person. I am a black woman who grew up in a foreign country and culture and has nontraditional beliefs. Needless to say, I had difficulty finding a therapist who made me feel understood, supported, and, most importantly, not judged. She is a compassionate, understanding, and non-judgemental therapist. She has created a foundation of mutual respect and transparency without jeopardizing the necessary boundaries of a client-therapist relationship. Working with her on my mental health has made me a better person in all areas of life. I learned how to cope better with experiences that trigger past stressors. With her help, I learned how to show myself kindness and the compassion I now know I deserve while I am learning and growing. What stands out is that she did not make me feel silly for questioning the roots of my issues. She also guided and helped me where her responsibility ended, for example, by supporting me while navigating this overwhelming and foreign healthcare system. I can now focus on what was good for me. She makes me feel like I can tell her anything and overcome any hurdle life throws me by offering tools and knowledge that help me cope. She constantly encourages me to speak and live my truth. I fully trust her; she would go above and beyond to help me manage my life and stressors."

"I am extremely grateful for Nadège and the services she has provided for me. I have been seeing her consistently for a while now; she truly has the right heart and mind for this career path. I am a firm believer that counseling can be life changing if you, yourself do the footwork BUT it makes it an even greater, meaningful experience when you have someone so empathetic and passionate like Nadège. The energy and light that she brings throughout each of our sessions makes me look forward to being vulnerable although vulnerability can be a scary thing; she makes me feel so comfortable being human!"

"Nadege has been life changing for me! I would recommend Hopeful Minds Counseling over and over. So much more positivity and a lightness has been brought into my life. I can't thank them enough for how much my life has changed in a positive way!"
