Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Enneagram Coach
I know seeking help can be an overwhelming process and deciding who to trust to help us sort out our inner world is no easy task. I offer a free consultation so we can get to know one another and share questions and concerns. Christian Counseling can be engaged with from a variety of perspectives. For me it is about offering an invitational space for you to come to know yourself and God in a new way- learning to listen deeply and responding with greater confidence to who God is calling you to be. In our work together, I am committed to offering a supportive environment and a fresh perspective that points you toward the wisdom available from within and experiencing the freedom from limiting beliefs and patterns that have long stood in your way.

Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Do you find yourself questioning your faith? Wondering whether your faith is strong enough or if God still sees and loves you? Please know that you're not alone. Depression, anxiety, and traumatic experiences can impact your thoughts, even your thoughts about God and who you are as a believer with these struggles. Too often, we see condemnation from the church about mental illness being related to lack of faith. However, several individuals who are revered by the church as saints (Mother Theresa is one example) have shared struggles in their faith and their tendency toward depression.
A significant portion of my training has included working with individuals with a Christian background (involved in volunteer and occupational Christian ministry, trained in Stephen Ministry, PREPARE/ENRICH, Hope Focused Couples Therapy, wrote a dissertation on the relationship between one's God-image and forgiveness, and served as a consultant to pastors on mental health issues).
Recently, I've become interested in helping others heal from religious trauma and spiritual abuse. Unfortunately, religion has sometimes been used to intimidate and exert power over others. This can happen from the pulpit or within personal relationships with others. In these situations, survivors can develop not only symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, but significant confusion surrounding their identity, their purpose, God's character, and their own standing with God. Please know that when we work together, I am sensitive to this possibility, and I will always follow your lead in discussing matters of faith. I will not attempt to lead you in one direction over the other, as you are capable of making your own decisions. I will, however, listen and support you as you navigate this often bumpy terrain.
Mental health concerns and negative religious experiences are nothing to be ashamed of, and only by acknowledging them within a safe space can there be true healing. Keep in mind that there is no problem too big to overcome. Even if the future looks bleak, remember that hope and healing are possible.

Psychologist, PsyD, LMHC, PSYPACT - Licensed Psychologist
Being a Christian psychologist myself, this is an area of support that can harmoniously intertwine both faith and mental health. The integration of faith alongside fallabilities and areas one wants to work on can vary greatly. We would work together to determine how this looks.

Renovating Hope Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MAEd, LPC
Often, as individuals reflect on the journey of their lives, it seems as if the story they are living is not the story they had hoped to find themselves in. Heartache from the past, and even anxiety promoted by an uncertain future can serve to distort one’s view of oneself and the unfolding story. Kristen generally approaches therapy from an integrative philosophy, looking at all facets of an individual. Watching God use brokenness to move people toward redemption and wholeness is one of my greatest privileges as a therapist.
