Christian Counseling: More than Sprinkling Verses over Counsel
At its highest, Christian counseling is an integration and application of truths from psychology and other sciences with the unchanging Truth of the Bible, God’s Word. It is intended to be so much more than just sprinkling a few biblical verses over what a counselor thinks. It starts with a fundamental belief in a loving God, who sent His One and Only Son, that no one would have to pay the price due for being broken and missing the mark. God wants a deeply intimate relationship with each person He created, and wants them to have deeply intimate relationships with each other. Christian counseling can help that happen. A Christian counselor accepts those who desire Christian counseling and starts with where they are in their relationship with God.
It’s not about being beat up. It’s about the hope that the Good News of Jesus Christ brings. Hope, help, and positive change are available.

Lost & Found Counseling, Jennifer Cranford
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC and Brainspotting certified
If you desire to incorporate your Christian faith into our counseling sessions, I will help you explore your beliefs as they relate to your current challenges. As a Christian, myself, I am happy to walk alongside you and encourage you in your spiritual walk as we combine spiritual insights with professional, therapeutic techniques. I will never preach to you, but seek to apply God's grace and truth to your specific situation. If you are struggling in your faith, I am ready to explore these hard questions with you and welcome you to speak “uncensored” about your thoughts/fears. These doubts are there for a reason, and I count it a privilege to sit with you in the dark and painful places of your heart.

I believe each person is a masterpiece, created by God with a purpose to do great things. I approach counseling with a Christian perspective, recognizing that to some people faith is very important. If you are a person of faith we will approach counseling from a spiritual and biblical perspective. You will not be told "just pray about it", but instead we will incorporate Christian values and practices into a proactive approach to help you find rediscover your purpose.

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.
