Christian Counseling
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.

Christian Counseling
Roland Achtau
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC, MAPC
I have a MA in pastoral counseling from Liberty University. Being a Christian in these modern times demonstrates the importance of having a biblically informed worldview to address the life changes that people of faith face. I believe the bible is the word of God and is powerful in helping one overcome different issues. I also incorporate a holistic approach to touch on other key issues of the person.

Christian Counseling
Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
At LEAPS we approach Christian Counseling by first learning about client’s spiritual history, faith preferences, and commitments. We adopt a systematic protocol to gather relevant information about their Christian faith. A clinical spiritual assessment is conducted prior to the implementation of any prescribe treatment approach, thereby achieving consistently favorable solution-driven outcomes. For example, we use the FICA tool: faith, importance, community, and address protocol:
• Do you consider yourself a person of faith and how would you describe your faith tradition?
• What importance does your faith have in your life?
• Are you a member of a local church or faith community?
• How would you like me to address these spiritual matters?
Ultimately, our goal is to use Christian principles integrated with proven therapeutic approaches to help resolve your mental health challenges.
