I am very thankful for the help that His Heart Foundation provided to me. I emailed them on a Monday and by Wednesday, we were meeting with a counselor. Our counselor was a perfect fit for my son and I. I am ever so grateful to His Heart Foundation.

Client, His Heart Foundation

His Heart Foundation is truly a one-of-a-kind resource that links the church with the mental health community and is willing to address issues of mental health that have sometimes been misunderstood by, rejected by, or too overwhelming for churches to handle by themselves.

Rebecca Lomeland, LMHC, Lacamas Counseling

I am so thankful for the help provided in finding a counselor that fits my needs. And the follow-up to see how the counseling was going. I have recommended His Heart to family and friends.

We are all impressed with the compassionate, confidential, professional, and prayerful approach His Heart Foundation takes towards healing and find it to be a solid resource for shaky times.

Rhonda DiGenova, Church Leader

The counseling provided in part by His Heart Foundation is helping me cope with my husband’s stage 4 cancer and walking through the hardest time of my life, thank you!

His Heart Foundation has been an invaluable resource for our church.

Pastor Brad Vos, Crossway Church

Your organization was an answer to prayer. After searching high and low for a Christian counselor that would take my insurance, I was deeply discouraged finding none. His Heart worked diligently to find me just the right counselor who fit my need!

The Oasis Retreat Center was perfect for our day retreat. We had plenty of space for our group and everything we needed in the kitchen to serve lunch to our group.

Sarah, Leader

I am so thankful, His Heart Foundation took the guesswork out of finding a therapist to match my needs and I’m so grateful for that connection. It saved me time, resources, and brought me closer to my healing – quicker than I expected.

We’ve had wonderful experiences in our church with His Heart Foundation. We are so grateful for this important and necessary service to our community!
