Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I address depression by providing a holistic and faith-based approach to healing. Integrating psychological insights with Christian principles, I incorporate prayer, scriptural guidance, and discussions on hope and faith into therapy sessions. Recognizing the spiritual dimension of depression, I help individuals explore the connection between their faith and emotional well-being. Encouraging clients to lean on biblical promises of comfort and strength, I integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies to challenge negative thought patterns. Fostering a sense of purpose and meaning in alignment with Christian values, I collaborate with clients to develop coping mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of seeking support from their faith community. This integrative approach aims to address the multifaceted aspects of depression, empowering individuals to find solace in their Christian beliefs and work towards emotional healing and recovery.

Few people understand what depression feels like or how to respond to a person who is suffering through the loneliness, the fatigue... the pain of it all. We can help you find the path to peaceful existence. It's a process, but it is achievable with the right kind of help.

As a non-licensed practitioner, I cannot legally claim to work with depression (because it’s a diagnosable condition). That said, I’ve successfully helped a number of depressed clients (officially diagnosed or not) who’ve been in conventional treatment for years. I also speak from personal experience, as a guy whose family was affected by undiagnosed depression.
I believe the “chemical imbalance” model that the pharmaceutical companies use is simplistic. It reflects our society’s love of easy answers, how little therapy insurance companies want to pay for, and the over-specialization of health care, which results in practitioners who don’t understand how mind, body, and spirit fit together.
A holistic long-term solution can be as simple as diet, herbs, and supplements (some as effective as prescriptions, without the side-effects). Or it might include coaching to develop healthy relationships and solve problems that are getting you down, improving self-esteem, learning healthy habits and positive coping mechanisms, and healing and energy treatments to change the negative messages you’ve absorbed through life.
