15 years in practice

I welcome the opportunity to provide a safe space, where individuals can be their authentic selves, explore and grow in a judgment free environment.

After 25 years in the mental health field, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of authentic connections. It’s clear that growth and healing do not happen in isolation; they are fostered through meaningful relationships. We find context, perspective, and purpose in our interactions with others. These connections inspire us to evolve and motivate us to strive to be our best selves. At Authentic Connections Mental Health & Wellness, we believe that the path to wellness is enriched by the bonds we form. Our therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered and solution-focused methodologies, ensuring that therapy is tailored to your unique experiences and aspirations. Hope Fike is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Kansas with 15 years of experience, offering individual therapy and assessments. She provides telehealth services from Newton, KS, and is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and KanCare. Hope specializes in therapy for adults, teens, and seniors, addressing issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PTSD. She supports clients after psychiatric hospitalization for severe depression, trauma, or suicidal intent.
