The Great Bend Chamber of Commerce announces the grand opening of Passages of Hope Counseling Center LLC, located at 2008 11th St. Owned by Joanne and Steve Wondra, Passages of Hope Counseling Center aims to provide comprehensive therapeutic services and medical management to empower individuals and families on their journey toward growth and healing.
The official ribbon cutting ceremony, hosted by the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce, took place on Sept. 7. Passages of Hope Counseling Center is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of its clients by offering a range of specialized services to expand access to mental health support in the area.
The center boasts a team of dedicated professionals, including three experienced counselors (Joanne Wondra, Karina Weigel, Bridgett Schneweis) and a nurse practitioner (Amanda Lakin), with Candace Murphy and Jamie Fager also on staff supporting the new office. Their services include child and teen therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, play therapy, and grief therapy.
