Having degrees in theology and served in churches both large and small I understand how important the spiritual element is to living a healthy and purposeful life. Whether it's the relationship with your spouse, a family member, or yourself, faith is a crucial part of the equation and something I highlight for the clients who desire for it to be part of conversation. Together we will integrate a faith perspective with whatever bring you into therapy so you can live with more purpose, joy and freedom.

Gabriela Heigl
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Patterns or pain from the past can cast undesirable shadows on the present. It's not uncommon to get stuck in repetitive, unhelpful cycles that feel unbreakable. These can often rob you of what you truly desire and leave you longing for more out of life. In theory, you know your life could be different, but these cycles just won't let you live the way you've dreamed. And for a lot of us, our burdens are not just our own. We have others who feel the weight of what we go through. These people depend on us and care for us. This could leave us feeling shame in the midst of our battle, thinking, "I shouldn't be feeling this way", "I need to be stronger" or "What's wrong with me?"Which only further isolates us from those we wish to be closest to.
I help clients identify and dismantle unhelpful ways of relating to themselves and to others. My clients gain more self compassion and confidence throughout our work together and leave with a greater sense of clarity, direction, and peace.

Embark Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MSMFT
Embarking on the path to become a Christian Therapist was a calling deeply rooted in my core beliefs and values. My journey into Christian counseling integrates a profound commitment to holistic healing, emphasizing the harmonious blend of psychological expertise and spiritual depth. This vocation is not merely a career choice but a fulfillment of my purpose to serve others through faith-based guidance and psychological support.
The foundation of my decision lies in the belief that true healing encompasses both the mind and the spirit. My academic endeavors at a renowned graduate school, where I specialized in clinical psychology with an emphasis on theological studies, equipped me with the unique skills to address mental health from a Christian perspective. This education provided me with a deep understanding of how spiritual beliefs can significantly enhance psychological healing.
My passion for becoming a Christian Therapist is fueled by the desire to offer a sanctuary for individuals seeking solace and healing within the framework of their faith. The integration of Christian principles with evidence-based psychological practices allows me to offer compassionate, comprehensive care that addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Moreover, my commitment to this path is strengthened by witnessing the transformative power of faith-infused therapy. The ability to incorporate prayer, scripture, and spiritual disciplines into therapeutic practices offers a profound source of support and strength for those navigating life's challenges. It's about creating a space where clients can explore their struggles and find healing through a faith that resonates deeply with their personal beliefs and experiences.
In essence, my motivation to become a Professional Christian Therapist is driven by a dedication to bridging the gap between spiritual well-being and mental health. My goal is to empower individuals to harness their faith as a vital component of their healing journey, fostering resilience, hope, and a deeper connection with their spiritual selves. It is a privilege to guide individuals through this process, helping them to discover peace, purpose, and fulfillment through the lens of Christian counseling.
