Anxiety

What are your fears? Sometimes we don’t realize that we have grown up with separation anxiety and/or other fears. Those feelings tend to become normal feelings. But if we do not name what lurks in the dark shadows of our souls, it will master us, resulting in anxiety and depression. When anxiety is not addressed and controlled, it can lead to depression. Sometimes we rely on ourselves, our gifts, and our ingenuity rather than relying on God and His deliverance. Through Christian counseling for anxiety, you can learn to overcome your fears and experience peace with God’s help.

Trauma

Facing an upsetting and confusing event can be traumatic. There is direct and indirect trauma, including events such as accidents, sexual assault, or natural disasters. Feelings of shock and denial are prevalent under these circumstances, along with other symptoms such as headaches and nausea.

Trauma is complex. Together in session we can process it by naming the type of trauma, learning coping skills, processing through trauma with narrative work, and inviting God to be part of the healing process. He wants to make us whole. Jesus took up our pain on the cross, including our physical pain, emotional pain, and spiritual pain. God is good and can redeem even the most horrible, evil things that happen in our lives. Take the first step toward healing today by reaching out for trauma therapy.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Several risk factors and stressful experiences, including the amount and severity of trauma you’ve gone through in your life, can result in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of PTSD can include intrusive memories, avoidance, negative changes in thinking and mood, or changes in physical and emotional reactions. While there is a lot to assess and process with PTSD, one of key factors to address is the mind. In our sessions together we will work together not only to address the root of your symptoms but also the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2).

Grief and Loss

You many grieve the loss of a friend, parent, spouse, marriage, job, financial stability, dream or goal, fertility, or your youth. There are stages of grief that include emotional and physical symptoms as well as complicated grief such as absent grief, ambiguous loss, and disenfranchised grief. As you tell me your story, we will work together to navigate your grief while depending on God to heal your soul.

Codependency

There are at least 18 attributes of a codependent relationship. Perhaps you feel caught in a trap of constantly trying to please everyone, and yet still feel guilty at the end of the day. If you feel as if you and your loved one are in a never-ending battle for control and have no idea who is winning or losing, you may be dealing with codependent issues.

Codependents rely on alcohol or drugs, money, work, food, or sex to make them happy – or they love someone who does. God, through the Holy Spirit, can help you step back and examine your life. Through our sessions together we can work to effectively deal with issues at your own pace. This will be done in a safe environment to help break the cycle and help you become free to make new choices in your life according to God’s will.
