The Center For Counseling and Health Resources - The Business of Hope

It takes a highly innovative institution to bring together the words “hope” and “business”, concepts not usually associated with each other in the typical realm of business activity. But The Center For Counseling and Health Resources, a wholistic treatment facility located in Edmonds, Washington, has been doing just that for nearly 30 years. Founded in 1984 by mental and emotional health expert Dr. Gregory Jantz, The Center might in fact be said to be in the business of hope: cultivating hope, enhancing hope, and restoring hope to individuals who have lost sight of it due to the struggles and challenges of their daily lives.

To achieve this mission, Dr. Jantz has assembled a superior team of medical and health care professionals at The Center and has developed a wide range of treatment programs, all dedicated to helping men, women, and adolescents take back their lives from issues such as depression, addiction, and eating disorders. Working from a whole-person treatment philosophy, The Center seeks to restore an overall balance to health by ministering to an individual’s full range of needs: emotional, medical, psychological, spiritual, physical, fitness, and nutritional. Patients consult with highly-trained, caring staff to develop customized treatment or therapy programs tailored to their particular situations. This highly effective approach, for which The Center For Counseling and Health Resources has become world-renowned, helps to prevent the recurrence of particular issues by identifying and addressing the root causes behind them, and thus allows patients to develop ongoing positive lifestyle patterns and maintain a sense of hope as they embark on healthier futures.

Dr. Gregory Jantz’s vision of hope which led to the founding of The Center came about during his time working as a licensed mental health counselor and certified eating disorder specialist, when he realized that a sense of unity and coordination in care was missing from the available treatment options of the time, and was leading to a feeling of despair rather than one of hope amongst his patients. Since establishing the Center, Dr. Jantz has also worked to spread his message of hope to individuals in need through a number of bestselling books, speaking engagements, and radio and television appearances.
