Christian Counseling
We Incorporate Christian Faith into Therapy
At Storywell Counseling, we offer faith-based counseling that weaves your Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process.
-
When anxiety feels overwhelming or depression steals your joy, faith can be a source of comfort but sometimes it raises questions too. We help you manage symptoms with evidence-based tools while providing the space for you to process your thoughts, feelings, and the big questions.
-
Trauma can shake your faith to its core, leaving you wondering where God was in your pain. We use evidence-based trauma therapy like EMDR while creating space to process spiritual wounds, questions about suffering, and finding healing that honors both your mental health and your faith.
-
Major life changes like career shifts, relationship endings, and identity transitions often prompt deep questions about God’s plan and purpose for your life. We help you navigate uncertainty and change with therapeutic support grounded in your faith, exploring how God is present and working even in seasons of upheaval.
-
Grief often brings profound spiritual questions: “Where is God in this pain?” “Why did this happen?” We help you process loss with compassion and evidence-based grief therapy while exploring how your faith can be a source of comfort, even when it feels shaken by your suffering.
-
Becoming a mother is a profound transition that affects every part of your life including your spiritual life. Whether you’re experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, or struggling to connect with God in this new season, we offer support that honors both your mental health and your faith journey.
-
The grief of infertility and pregnancy loss often brings deep spiritual questions: “Why won’t God give us a baby?” “Where is He in this pain?” We provide compassionate support for the unique heartbreak of reproductive loss while honoring your faith and helping you navigate unanswered prayers.
-
Whether you are in need of individual support in navigating relationship struggles or in search of couple’s support, we can walk alongside you bringing both evidenced based therapy and integrate your faith and beliefs into the process.
*For each of these areas, faith integration is always optional and tailored to your comfort level. You take the lead! Whether you want prayer in sessions, exploration of scripture, or simply therapy that respects your Christian values, we create a space where your whole self: mind, body, and spirit can find healing.
EMDR & Christian Counseling
At Storywell Counseling, we offer Christian EMDR therapy that integrates evidence-based trauma therapy with your faith.

What Makes Our Christian Counseling Different
We’re professionally trained therapists. We have graduate degrees in counseling and clinical training in evidence-based therapy. We take both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of healing seriously.
We don’t use faith as a band-aid. We won’t tell you to “just pray more” or “have more faith” when you’re struggling with clinical depression or trauma. Faith is a resource, but so is good therapy. We integrate all available tools.
We create space for doubt and struggle. You don’t have to have perfect faith or pretend everything is fine. We honor wherever you are in your spiritual journey: questions, anger, doubt, and all.
We address mental health directly. We understand that anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions are medical issues, not spiritual failures. You’re not struggling because you lack faith, you’re struggling because you’re human and sometimes humans need help.
We respect different theological perspectives. We work with Christians from various denominations and traditions. We won’t impose our specific theological views and will honor yours.
We integrate psychology and theology thoughtfully. We don’t see faith and psychology as competing, we see them as complementary. God created our minds and emotions, and understanding how they work doesn’t diminish faith; it deepens our appreciation for how God designed us.
We never force faith into sessions. If you want faith-based counseling, we integrate it meaningfully. If you prefer to keep faith and therapy separate, we respect that too. You’re always in control of this aspect of your treatment.
