Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I will address anxiety and fears by integrating psychological techniques with Christian principles to provide a comprehensive and faith-based approach. I will guide you in understanding that it is normal to experience fear but emphasize relying on their faith to navigate through challenges. Prayer, meditation on scripture, and the cultivation of a strong spiritual foundation are often incorporated to promote a sense of peace and trust in God's plan. Cognitive-behavioral strategies may be employed to identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to anxiety. Encouragement to surrender worries to God and trust in His guidance is a common theme, aligning with Christian teachings on casting anxieties onto the Lord. Through this integrative approach, you are supported in managing anxiety in a manner that is consistent with their Christian beliefs while fostering mental and emotional well-being.

Melanie Mosbarger
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CTTS
Feel like you're caught in a hamster wheel of your thoughts? Have you tried saying STOP and it still doesn't work? At the core of each anxiety or fear lies an insecurity or a voice from the past where someone deliberately or inadvertently spoke a lie over you. It's time to release that lie and embrace the truth over your life.
