About HopePath

HopePath Mental Health Directory was created in honor of my mother, Elizabeth Moore, formerly Elizabeth Cardin.

Growing up, my family was deeply affected by my mother's serious mental health challenges. As a child, I did not fully understand what she was going through. I only knew that my mother was suffering, and our family was suffering with her.

She could not help what she was facing, but the impact on our family was very difficult. When I was 13 years old, my parents divorced, and our family structure changed dramatically.

One of the saddest parts of that season of life is that we never truly had the chance to know our mother the way children hope to know their mom. Mental illness affected her life, our family, and the relationships we all wished could have been different.

As I got older, I began to understand something important: people struggling with mental health conditions need more than general advice. They need the right kind of help, the right type of treatment, and support that is better matched to what they are actually facing. Families also need education, direction, and somewhere to turn when they do not know what to do next.

That is why HopePath Mental Health Directory was created.

HopePath is committed to providing accurate, helpful, and responsible mental health information. Every article and resource we publish follows these standards:

• Information, not advice. Our content is educational and informational. It is not a substitute for professional diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice. We do not diagnose conditions or recommend specific treatments.
• Clearly sourced. When we reference statistics, resources, or established practices, we draw from recognized organizations and public health authorities.
• Reviewed for accuracy. Our articles are written and reviewed with care to ensure the information is current and responsible.
• Accessible language. Mental health information should not require a medical degree to understand. We write in plain language so that anyone can follow along.
• Respect and dignity. We never reduce people to their conditions. Our language reflects the full humanity of the people we aim to help.

Our directory includes listings from treatment centers, therapists, psychiatrists, support groups, free clinics, nonprofits, and crisis centers across the United States. We take the accuracy of these listings seriously.

Each listing goes through a review process. Listings that have been manually confirmed by our team — including provider name, location, contact information, and services — are marked as Verified. Listings that are still being reviewed are marked as Unverified, and we encourage users to confirm details directly with the provider.

Providers can claim their listings through our verification process, which allows them to update and manage their own information. This helps keep the directory current and accurate over time.

If you find information that is outdated or incorrect, please let us know through our contact page. Accuracy is an ongoing effort, and community feedback helps us improve.
