About and History

Access Hope partners with nonprofit organizations that provide access to mental health services.  We do not directly serve persons dealing with mental health concerns; instead, we work directly with other nonprofit organizations to expand their mental health services. 

We believe that by overcoming financial barriers, stigma, and other circumstances that restrict access, those of us that suffer from mental health conditions can recover, experience the lifting of hopelessness, and lead a fulfilling life. 

We value every individual and recognize each for their unique contributions, and treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve.

We believe that the diversity of humankind is a wonderful thing and are privileged to serve, and work with, individuals and communities of varied races, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, and socioeconomic status.

We believe in collaboration with others in leveraging resources and abilities.

Access Hope was founded in 2012 by Len Wolf, a Northern Virginia businessman.  Its first major initiative was to partner with a major community college to offer mental health counseling services to its student. The initiative was the very first to bring licensed clinical therapists onto the campus of a community college in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Most recently, the Organization has partnered with another top-notch mental health services non-profit organization in the D.C. metropolitan area to expand its mental health support services while adding direct clinical counseling services to individuals who otherwise would have no access to services.
