Are you looking for a space where your faith and mental health can come together?
You’ve prayed, tried to stay positive, and told yourself to “just have more faith”—but inside, you still feel anxious, weary, or unsure of what God is doing in your life. You might wonder if it’s okay to need help when you’re supposed to “trust and not worry.”
​
The truth is, even people of strong faith can feel lost, hurt, or overwhelmed. Scripture is full of examples of people who wrestled with fear, doubt, and pain—and still found hope and restoration through God’s presence.
​
Christian counseling offers a space to process life’s challenges through both clinical wisdom and Biblical truth—helping you heal emotionally while deepening your spiritual walk.
Do you feel distant from God?
There may be times when prayer feels hard, worship feels dry, or you can’t sense God’s presence the way you once did. Life’s hardships, grief, or trauma can leave you wondering if God is still near—or if you’ve somehow lost His favor.
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or guilt?
You might feel ashamed for having “negative” emotions or think your struggles mean you’re not faithful enough. But emotions are part of being human. Therapy can help you understand them and bring them before God in truth and grace.
Do you feel torn between your faith and your feelings?
Maybe you want to make decisions that honor God, but you’re not sure what that looks like anymore. You might be carrying resentment, fear, or uncertainty that makes it hard to move forward.
​
At Purpose Counseling, we believe faith and emotional health were never meant to be separate. God designed you with both a soul and a mind—and healing involves caring for both.
How Christian Counseling Works
-
We start by listening to your story.
You’ll have space to share what’s been on your heart, your challenges, your prayers, and your relationship with God.
-
We integrate faith with practical tools.
Our therapists draw from Biblical wisdom and evidence-based approaches such as DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help you manage emotions, strengthen relationships, and live out your faith authentically.
-
We help you grow in both faith and freedom.
Together, we’ll explore how your faith can be a source of healing, not pressure. You’ll develop emotional resilience, rediscover peace, and rebuild confidence in God’s plan for your life.
-
All sessions are 100% virtual, allowing you to connect privately and conveniently from anywhere in Ohio.
