What Our Counselors Believe About Healing
Our counselors believe healing for counseling issues occurs by carefully integrating best practices for mental health and faith. By doing this, you will experience positive behavioral change, an improved mood, and purpose in life.
Core Values
&
Christian Counseling
Our first core value: feel grace. No matter what you are going through, God approaches you and your experiences with grace. We do not rush the change process. Our team will extend grace from the first session through the last. It is a privilege to serve Fort Worth with Christian counseling.
FEEL GRACE
From Jesus’s fullness, we have all received, grace upon grace.
-John 1:16
KNOW LOVE
Neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God.
- Romans 8:39
Secondly, we believe in the importance of love. From repairing broken relationships to engaging in new ones, relationships with each other and with God take time. Our therapists will graciously walk alongside you.
Lastly, we hope that you experience freedom. You might look at a situation differently, have a fresh perspective on life, walk in renewed sobriety, or experience a redeemed marriage. We would love to help you through any life circumstance. Please contact us if you would like to learn more about our practice.
EXPERIENCE FREEDOM
Much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign through Jesus.
- Romans 5:17

"My daughter is finishing up her time at TCU, and began meeting with Emily during her sophomore year of school. She recently finished her last session with Emily, and I wanted to write and say how grateful we are for the incredible counsel she has given over the last few years. Through our daughter's counseling experience we have seen her transform– from a very low point, to a place of strength, resilience, and confidence in who she is in Christ. The transition from high school to college proved to be a challenge, and we knew right away that investing in Christian counseling was invaluable. We can never really thank Emily enough for her counsel during this season of my daughter's life!"
