Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Do you find yourself questioning your faith? Wondering whether your faith is strong enough or if God still sees and loves you? Please know that you're not alone. Depression, anxiety, and traumatic experiences can impact your thoughts, even your thoughts about God and who you are as a believer with these struggles. Too often, we see condemnation from the church about mental illness being related to lack of faith. However, several individuals who are revered by the church as saints (Mother Theresa is one example) have shared struggles in their faith and their tendency toward depression.
A significant portion of my training has included working with individuals with a Christian background (involved in volunteer and occupational Christian ministry, trained in Stephen Ministry, PREPARE/ENRICH, Hope Focused Couples Therapy, wrote a dissertation on the relationship between one's God-image and forgiveness, and served as a consultant to pastors on mental health issues).
Recently, I've become interested in helping others heal from religious trauma and spiritual abuse. Unfortunately, religion has sometimes been used to intimidate and exert power over others. This can happen from the pulpit or within personal relationships with others. In these situations, survivors can develop not only symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, but significant confusion surrounding their identity, their purpose, God's character, and their own standing with God. Please know that when we work together, I am sensitive to this possibility, and I will always follow your lead in discussing matters of faith. I will not attempt to lead you in one direction over the other, as you are capable of making your own decisions. I will, however, listen and support you as you navigate this often bumpy terrain.
Mental health concerns and negative religious experiences are nothing to be ashamed of, and only by acknowledging them within a safe space can there be true healing. Keep in mind that there is no problem too big to overcome. Even if the future looks bleak, remember that hope and healing are possible.

Hayne Steen
Counselor/Therapist, MAMFT, LMHC, Approved Supervisor
We believe that God is love. God's love is toward everybody. What does that work out as? We have a passion to include everybody. That’s our first ethos. We’ll never impose this belief on you. We simply want to embody this kind of love.
We believe everyone is made in God’s image. We…thats all of us. We treat everyone equally respecting differences. No special parking places. We’ll never ever ever ever impose this belief on you. We will do our best to treat you with dignity in every moment.
We believe God is a relationship, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This looks like a commitment to a healthy open relationship. It’s WE. We are together in this. Good and bad. It means we need to get good at forgiving one another, good at listening to one another. We’ll never ever ever ever impose this belief on you. But we do seek to model this in the way we go about caring for people.
Death isn’t the end. We are people who believe in the resurrection of Jesus, which means that we have a deep sense of hope in every situation while we are each serving as change agents. This translates into the way we help individuals heal from trauma or couples work toward reconciliation to how we continue to hold onto hope for you even in the dimmest of circumstances.
A sense of perseverance. We believe, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". This means we are persevering with one another. We are called to be marathoners, not sprinters. There are no quick fixes. We are committed to building an enduring trust with the individuals, couples and families we serve. The healing path is one marked by willingness, patience, work and time.

Dr. Sharon Arrindell
Counselor/Therapist, EdD, DBC, DBS, MSC, Licensed with Federal Association of Christian Counselors and Therapists (FACCT)
Though my credentials allow me to work in either the secular or Christian realm of counseling, I have chosen the latter. I believe that God is always the unseen guest at every session and as a result has the last Word after I have spoken. With that in mind, the Bible and its truths are utilized.
