Working Towards a Better Tomorrow

Dr. Jodi Handran, the President and founder of Gates of Hope Ministries started a private practice in 2015. It was at that time that she noticed that most clients who walked through her doors had been sexually abused at some point in their life. Seeing this great need for healing, in 2020 she formed a nonprofit and published her book Restored: The Journey from Sexual Abuse to Healing in Jesus. This was done so that all who wanted help could get it, regardless of their ability to pay.  Dr. Jodi holds a Doctor of Theology and a Master's in Pastoral Counseling. 

Using three powerful tools means the Lord can reach that wound of sexual abuse. Those tools include the Bible, Pastoral Counseling and prayer. 

Gates of Hope works with a team of skilled and trained counselors across the United States.  I am confident that we can pair you with a counselor you can both connect and feel safe with during your healing journey.
