About Us

Our parent company, A Helping Hand Counseling Center (AHHCC) relocated to Saint Cloud in May of 2018 and has provided over seven thousand hours of free and affordable counseling to the residents of Osceola County without outside funding. In 2020 the need to continue meeting the growing areas’ need for affordable community based counseling led us to develop Helping Hand Community Counseling. The timing of this decision has become even more vital now as we continue to see a significant rise in requests for free counseling as families face extreme financial hardships and difficulty due to COVID-19.

The goal of AHHCC & HHCC is to combine what is typically three different entities within mental health; private practice, Medicaid agencies and non-profit. By doing so we are able to help a family as a whole. Many of the families we work with are blended, multigenerational, dual household, foster/ adopted and many other types which create multiple types of insurance within the family and perhaps even contains a few members who have no insurance. By offering a financial to ALL individuals and families we are truly able to impact the entire family system, instead of just a few.
