Christian Counseling

✝

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

— Matthew 11:28

Counseling Rooted in Faith — When You Want It

For many adults, faith is at the center of how they understand themselves, their relationships, and their struggles. Counseling that ignores that dimension can feel incomplete.

Our counselors are trained in clinical best practices AND welcome integrating Christian faith into your sessions when that's meaningful to you. We honor your beliefs as part of who you are — not something to be set aside while we do "real" therapy.

Faith integration is always optional and tailored to your comfort level. We respect every background and never pressure clients toward any belief.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about starting counseling with us. If you don't see your question, just reach out — we're happy to talk through anything.

Do I have to be religious to receive counseling?
Not at all. While Christian counseling is available to those who want it, faith integration is always optional. Many of our clients come from a variety of religious and non-religious backgrounds, and we tailor our approach to your comfort level. Clinical, evidence-based counseling is the foundation of every session.
What kinds of issues do you help with?
We help adults navigate a wide range of life challenges — relationship and marriage issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, grief, faith struggles, and more. Whether you're in a specific crisis or just want someone to talk to who actually listens, you're welcome here.
Do you offer in-person sessions or just telehealth?
All counseling services are available via secure telehealth across Tennessee and Virginia. In-person sessions may also be available at our offices — please reach out to discuss what's available in your area and what would work best for you.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most major commercial insurance plans, including Anthem/BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare (Optum), Cigna/Evernorth, Aetna, Humana, UMR, Ambetter, and Wellpoint. Some Medicaid and Medicare plans may also be accepted. We verify benefits for free — reach out to find out what your coverage looks like.
What if I don't have insurance?
We offer transparent, affordable self-pay rates for those without insurance or who prefer to pay privately. Reach out and we'll discuss options that work for your situation.
How do I get started?
Simply fill out the form on this page with a few details about what you're looking for. Our team will reach out quickly to schedule your first session, verify insurance if applicable, and answer any questions. The whole process is designed to be simple and pressure-free.
How long does counseling typically last?
It depends entirely on your goals and what you're working through. Some people benefit from a handful of sessions to work through a specific issue. Others continue weekly or biweekly counseling for longer-term growth and support. Your counselor will work with you on what makes sense for your situation — there's no fixed timeline.
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy especially effective for trauma. It helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their emotional charge over time. EMDR is recognized by the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization as an effective treatment for PTSD and trauma.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. All sessions are private and protected by HIPAA. Your information is never shared with employers, family members, or anyone else without your written consent. Limited exceptions exist as required by law (such as imminent harm), and your counselor will explain these clearly at your first session.
Do you offer counseling for couples?
Yes. Our couples and marriage counseling helps partners with communication, intimacy, conflict resolution, rebuilding trust, and navigating major transitions together. Sessions are available via telehealth, which works well for couples with busy schedules.
Who are your counselors?
Our counseling team includes licensed behavioral health professionals trained in clinical best practices and a range of therapeutic approaches. We'll match you with a counselor whose specialties and approach align with what you're looking for. Bios available upon request.
Is counseling only for adults?
Yes. Our counseling services are currently offered to adults age 18 and over. For minors, we can provide referrals to qualified providers in your area.
