Christian Counseling, Asheville NC

Christian Counseling

While there is a deep joy and peace that can come from deciding to follow Christ, not all of our problems disappear the moment we enter into relationship with God. We are still faced with the challenges of living in this fallen world. Perhaps you are still carrying traumas from your past, having difficulties in your relationships, harboring unforgiveness, struggling with addiction, or fighting feelings of inadequacy. Throughout our conversion, a tug of war occurs between our old selves and our new identities in Christ. This battle doesn’t resolve overnight and can sometimes be challenging. However, with counsel, prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit, you can make steps towards receiving the healing and forward progress you are desiring.

Or perhaps you’ve been wounded by religion and are looking to work through the obstacles impeding your relationship with God. As someone who experienced religious trauma and has worked through it (and still is), I understand this process. Often times, the God presented to us by the world is an inaccurate depiction. We can experience hurtful judgment, abuse, shame, or even punishment from those who represent Him. And in an effort to avoid more pain, we associate God with our past hurt and dismiss Him altogether. If you have experienced spiritual abuse or religious trauma and are interested in beginning this process of healing, don’t hesitate to reach out.  We’re local to Asheville, NC and would be happy to have an introductory conversation with you.
