Care for the Caregiver – Double care…one stop
Care for the Caregiver is here. While your child is in therapy at Shining Hope Farms, you can now use that time to care for your own mental health with a licensed counselor—right here on-site. It’s convenient, covered by insurance (including Medicaid), and designed just for you.
We’re thrilled to welcome Alexis Sabul, LCSWA, CCM, our first full-time Mental Health Therapist at our Charlotte location.
Now accepting new patients, Alexis brings over a decade of experience in social work and a deep passion for helping children and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life’s challenges. Sessions take place at our Charlotte farm and make use of both our indoor and outdoor spaces, providing a peaceful and supportive environment for growth and healing.
Now Accepting Clients for the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
We’re excited to offer a rare opportunity for pediatric clients to participate in the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a powerful short-term listening therapy designed to improve nervous system regulation. This evidence-based approach supports children and teens experiencing anxiety, sensory sensitivities, trauma, ADHD, and autism, among other diagnoses. Openings are limited—learn how SSP can help your child feel more calm, connected, and engaged in therapy.
