Hope Folan, LICSW

I have been seeing Hope for about 2 months now and she has made a big impact in the way I cope and learn from past events and manage my anxiety. Hope is direct, which allows me to think more critically about my thoughts and feelings towards things. Her sessions are chill and feel more conversation like. I really enjoy my sessions with her and of course her dog, John, who adds an extra layer of comfort. Highly recommend!

Hopes honesty matched with her humor has helped me cope with life’s challenges and hold myself accountable.

Hope is the best therapist I have ever had!! Your sessions feel like a conversation instead of awkward silences after “and how does that make you feel?”You’ll always feel listened to and never judged. You can always reach out to her via text or call if you are struggling before your next appointment. I’m always saying something like “oh my therapist says” and I tell all my friends about how great she is.HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!If you don’t see her, you're missing out! In any difficult situation that life throws your way, you can just think “this will be great to tell Hope” ... and then she’ll make you realize you survived what was tough and can do it again.

I have been seeing Hope for almost 5 years now. Like anyone else, I was worried about starting therapy and connecting with my therapist. Sitting down with her for therapy feels as easy as chatting with a friend. She is always supportive, but knows how to be blunt and tell you what you need to hear as well. She has taught me plenty of coping mechanisms to deal with my anxiety, but is always available if I am struggling. I have made tremendous progress with my anxiety and depression over the past few years, and I wouldn’t have made that progress without someone who cares like she does. I really can not recommend her enough.

Seeing Hope has dramatically improved my quality of life. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and has helped me to build the tools I need to feel ready to weather any storm. She is also very down to earth and non-judgmental, which was huge for someone like me who was nervous about trying therapy. She truly lives up to her name, and has helped me to find a way through challenges that once felt insurmountable. I would strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a new provider.

I've been seeing Hope for over a year now, maybe even closer to 2 years and I can honestly say she is the best therapist I've ever had! I feel like she really takes the time to listen and understand and has really been the only person to help me with my endeavors and problems! I couldn't recommend a better therapist than Hope!

Hope has been wonderful to work with over the past 2 years. She has given me coping strategies to help with my anxiety and advice on dealing with the transitions of life. She is genuine, honest, and uses humor to help build our therapist-patient relationship. I feel safe and comfortable to open up to her without feeling judged. She will tell you like it is in a kind way, which is a great quality to help her patients grow. Hope (& John the dog) are the best!

I've been seeing Hope for almost 3 years and with her support, tools and resources I have become the strongest version of myself. Hope is extremely wise and insightful in so many different areas. She has supported me through family with addiction, boundaries & relationships within family, friends & spouse, how to navigate everyday struggles of life and so much more. I love how she provides multiple outlooks and solutions to the issues at hand; breaking down each one, highlighting what it means, how to get there and what the outcomes may look like. I wouldn't have made it through the past 3 years with my sanity intact without her!

Hope has been my therapist for 2 years now. Hope had guided me through some of my darkest times. I always leave feeling stronger than I was before going in. She’s simply the best!

Hope, has listened patiently to me over the last year. I feel she is guiding me in my growth as a person and journey in life!

I have been seeing hope for 5 years now. I have always had a hard time connecting with therapists but with Hope I immediately felt safe and comfortable. She knows everything about me and exactly how to deal with me in the most compassionate caring and kindest way. She is one of a kind and I would recommend her to anyone as much as I’d love to keep her all to myself. This woman is an angel and I feel blessed to have her as my therapist. If anyone has anything bad to say it’s because she may be tough on you but it’s because she has your best interest in mind. For the negative reviews they must be unwell because this woman has saved my life so many times.

I’ve been seeing Hope for 4 years now and she has helped me in so many ways. I was experiencing depression and anxiety, Hope helped me better my symptoms, manage stress, and helped me regain confidence in my ability to speak up for myself. She tells it like it is, which is an approach that I appreciate. I definitely recommend her!

I couldn’t ask for a better therapist. I’ve been seeing Hope for almost two years now and I am so thankful for the progress she’s helped me make in every aspect of my life. I feel comfortable with Hope and know that she’s always reachable if I need anything. I’ve never had as much success or felt as heard as I do with Hope. She’s truly the best

I had a hard time finding a therapist due to the wait times during covid. I did online therapy and hated it because it took so long to get to know my therapist and I was never really comfortable. I didn’t want to discuss my feelings, I wanted to do the hard and tangible work and have someone tell me the truth about my situation and reactions. Hope is very blunt and honest, does not sugarcoat anything and is exactly what I need. Her approach may not work for everyone but if you want to do some actual trauma work and healing then she is definitely the person to see. I’m so comfortable talking to her and she’s accessible and always available if I’m having a difficult time.

I'm not the easiest person to deal with and I don't let people get close to Me but Hope isn't like anybody I've ever met never mind any Therapist! She makes you feel comfortable right away never once do you feel judged or looked down on. Our appointments felt like to friends sitting down talking, I've never felt pushed to open up about something everything was done at my place making me feel comfortable. The world needs more people out there like Hope. Enough rambling go see Hope Grassi. Tell her Rich sent ya lol
