You Know You Need to Talk to a Counselor

(Set up a FREE Consultation to Talk)

You feel overwhelmed, but the words to explain it aren’t coming. You know you’re not alone in this struggle, but its weight feels too much to carry. A breakdown seems imminent—you and your doctor, friends, and family can feel it.

But the thought of therapy for anxiety or depression or grief

Sitting in front of someone and discussing your deepest fears and secrets can be terrifying, embarrassing, and overwhelming.

You’ve probably tried to make an appointment, but something held you back.

What if your problems are too big or too out there for a counselor to understand? It’s easy to worry that you’ll leave therapy feeling discouraged, like no one truly “got” you.

I get it! Feeling nervous about therapy is completely normal, especially if it’s your first time. In fact, if you don’t feel some nervousness, it could be a sign you’re avoiding your emotions.

Therapy is emotional. It’s supposed to be. Sometimes, it gets intense or overwhelming, and that’s precisely why I’m here—to help guide you through it. Life can be tricky, but God is always at work, even in the most challenging moments.

A Christian Counselor who counsels from a Biblical perspective creates a space to invite God into your struggles as the faithful promise-keeper He is. Scripture reminds us that trusting God during trials brings joy, even in the hardest times. We’ll take it at your pace, exploring your story and feelings without judgment. You’re safe here.

You might have some concerns.

“What if a counselor can’t really help me?”

Healing from emotional pain requires both knowing and being known. True change happens through relationships. Therapy offers a safe place to be understood when you feel like no one else quite gets it. It’s a temporary space where you can learn, grow, and practice new ways of thinking and living.

“What if you don’t understand what I’m going through?”

The first session’s goal is to listen—really listen—to you. We’ll take the time to understand your unique struggles and what led them. Proverbs 18:13 reminds us, “If one answers before he hears, it is his folly and shame.” I’ll listen to you first. Then we’ll work together to find the right path forward.

“I don’t want to depend on a stranger forever.”

How long therapy takes depends on you. Some feel better after a few sessions, while others may need longer-term support. It’s different for everyone, but the goal is always the same: to help you grow and find peace. In Christian counseling, we focus on deepening your relationship with God, applying His principles, and seeking His guidance to overcome life’s challenges.

Stop putting it off: Overcoming the Fear of Therapy.

Waiting too long, isolating yourself, or trying to numb your feelings is a sign that it’s time for change. Self-help and avoidance have already taken too much of your life. You deserve better, and it’s time to take the first step.

Yes, it’ll take work, but therapy provides the accountability and support you need to make real progress—through conversations, homework, and seeing your growth.
