Helping you create a “hope deal” for a healthier and happier you...
Rooted in culture. Grounded in care. Creating space for hope and healing.
Inspring Hope, Health & Wellness
Greetings, and thank you for visiting! I’m Khavah Murray, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of Hope Deals Counseling & Consulting—a private, virtual mental health practice committed to supporting your journey toward healing, growth, and emotional wellness.
At Hope Deals, we believe in the power of intention. A “Hope Deal” is your commitment to pursuing a healthier, more fulfilled life. It’s the promise you make to yourself to prioritize your mental wellness and take meaningful steps toward the life you envision.
With over 17 years of experience providing social and clinical services in homes, schools, and communities, I bring a compassionate, culturally informed approach to therapy. My background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh, with a Child Welfare Certificate, and a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University.
As a clinically certified trauma, mindfulness intervention, and grief professional, I specialize in supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. My therapeutic approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy with trauma-informed, person-centered, and solution-focused techniques. Whether navigating grief, anxiety, family transitions, or seeking clarity and confidence, I offer a safe and affirming space where your voice matters and your growth is honored.
I’m here to walk alongside you as you define and work toward your own Hope Deal.
You won’t be on this journey alone—Hope Deals is proud to include a team of dedicated, compassionate clinicians who bring diverse specialties and perspectives. Together, we are committed to meeting you where you are and supporting your mental wellness every step of the way.
