Meet The Christian Trauma Counseling Team

Our counselors are professionally trained to offer trauma-informed care that is rooted in their Christian faith. Trauma can be an isolating experience and finding safe relationships is an essential part of healing. We provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings with a biblically faithful counselor who understands the unique challenges of living with trauma. We will help you work towards relief from painful symptoms and point you towards hope in Christ as you face ongoing suffering.
