What We Help With
You might recognize yourself in at least one of these:
​
-
You are carrying trauma or PTSD that shows up as flashbacks, panic, or feeling numb.
-
You’ve lived through sexual abuse or assault and still feel the impact in your body and relationships.
-
Church or spiritual spaces have hurt you, and you’re not sure what you believe anymore or you’re questioning your faith and feel guilty, confused, or alone in it.
-
You’re stuck in relationship patterns that keep blowing up or shutting down.
-
You’re fighting urges to self‑harm or do things you’re not proud of just to feel something.
-
You can’t sleep, you are experiencing insomnia, your brain won’t shut off, or you wake up wired in the middle of the night.
​
If that hits close to home, you are not “too much” and you are not beyond help.
You don’t just need more coping strategies.
You need clarity, tools, and a place where you can actually be honest.
That’s what we do here.
Trauma‑informed counseling for people dealing with church hurt, sexual abuse, PTSD, relationship patterns, and nights you can’t sleep.

EMDR Therapy
For when talk therapy hasn’t been enough.
-
Trauma doesn’t just live in your thoughts; it lives in your nervous system.
-
EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less vivid and less in control.
-
We move at your pace, build safety first, and never push you faster than your body can handle.​​​

Christian Cousneling
For when faith is part of your story, even if you’re not sure what you believe right now.
-
Faith is welcome here.
-
We can bring Scripture, prayer, and spiritual practices into the work.
-
If you’re deconstructing or healing from spiritual abuse, we hold space for the anger, grief, and questions without preaching at you.

Body Based Somatic Counseling
For when talk therapy hasn’t been enough.
-
Trauma exists in your body when your body doesn't know if you are safe or not.
-
Body based and somatic therapy helps your body learn how to feel safe again.
-
Body-based and somatic therapy focuses more on how your body responds to certain triggers rather than reprocessing the memory.

Couples Counseling
For when you love each other but keep hurting each other.
For when getting to an office is one more thing you can’t manage.
-
A way to get real help without adding another drain to your day.
-
Secure video sessions from your home, car on a lunch break, or wherever you have privacy.
-
Flexible scheduling so therapy fits your actual life, not the other way around.
Counseling with Purpose Counseling
Wherever you are starting from, you are welcome here. Whether you are facing personal struggles, relationship tension, or questions about your faith, our therapists offer a space where you can be honest, understood, and supported as you move forward.
​
All sessions are fully virtual and HIPAA-secure, making it easier to get real help without adding more stress to your life. You can meet with your therapist from anywhere in Ohio and start building the clarity, tools, and strength you need.
How We Help
This is where your modalities become real‑life movement.
-
DBT‑informed skills
For big emotions and self‑harm urges. We teach you how to ride the wave without getting swallowed by it.
-
Mindfulness & body‑based somatic therapy
For when your body is always on alert. We help you notice cues sooner, come back to the present, and build internal safety.
-
EMDR
For memories that still feel “right now.” We target those memories so your brain can file them where they belong.
-
Christian counseling
For people who want faith integrated, not weaponized. We honor your story and your pace with God.
-
CBT‑I for insomnia
For chronic, mind‑racing nights. We use a structured protocol to reset your sleep patterns without relying only on “sleep hygiene tips.”
-
IBCT & Gottman‑informed couples work
For couples who are tired of the same fight. We map your cycle, build understanding, and practice new ways of reaching for each other.
This isn’t just insight.
This is movement.

What to Expect
Licensed therapists, secure sessions, and a client-centered approach you can trust.
Starting counseling should not feel complicated. Once you book your first session with Purpose Counseling, you will receive a secure link for your appointment through our HIPAA-compliant platform. You will meet with your therapist online, much like you would in person, and begin focusing on what brought you here in a space that is private, comfortable, and centered on you.
​
All of our therapists are licensed in Ohio and bring real experience in individual, couples, and faith-informed counseling. Sessions are fully online and flexible so you can get meaningful support without rearranging your entire life. Our focus is simple. We help you feel understood, build practical tools, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
​
Here’s the basic path:
-
Schedule a 20‑minute consult
Tell us what’s going on. Ask your questions. We’ll help you figure out if we’re a good fit.
-
Meet your therapist and set a plan
Together we’ll decide what you’re working toward and how often we’ll meet. You’ll know what we’re doing and why.
-
Do the work, notice the shift
We’ll sit with the hard things and we’ll also push toward real change. Over time, you should feel more clear, more resourced, and less controlled by your past.
