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.

I believe in holistic health, which includes spirituality as an important component of mental health and Total Well-Being. While I identify as a Christian, I am also very aware that this means different things to different people. I am knowledgeable about other worldviews, and I meet you where you are at, to help you achieve own unique goals. I offer a Christian approach to clients who are interested, and I respect and welcome all those of other faith beliefs or no identified faith belief.

Christian Counseling
Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Christian counseling, also known as biblical counseling or Christian therapy, combines psychological and therapeutic techniques with Christian faith, principles, and teachings. It is administered by professionals in mental health who are also trained in Christian theology and ethics. Christian counseling seeks to assist individuals in addressing their emotional, psychological, and relational difficulties while incorporating their Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process.
Christian counseling is not a substitute for traditional mental health therapy or medical treatment. Instead, it provides an additional option for those who wish to investigate their challenges within the Christian worldview. If you or someone you know is interested in Christian counseling, it is imperative to locate a qualified Christian counselor who shares your beliefs and can provide the necessary support and guidance.
