Faith-centered online counseling in Texas
Faith-centered, Spirit-led trauma therapy in Texas
Helping Christian women heal trauma at its deepest roots so they can experience lasting peace, healthy relationships, and a faith no longer overshadowed by fear
If you’ve been asking yourself, “If I trust God, why do I still feel this way?” you are not alone.
The Word says that “God is close to the brokenhearted.” The truth is that trauma healing can actually accelerate spiritual growth.
Grace Gessel, LCSW, senior therapist and trauma specialist of 14 years, takes a cheerful-hearted, faith-integrative, collaborative, and trauma-conscious approach to helping Christian women unburden the wounds of trauma and walk in a more secure faith, having stronger relationships with themselves, others and the Lord.
Welcome to Through Faith Therapy
A safe, compassionate space to heal and grow
Have you been trying to figure this out all on your own?
Somewhere in time did you learn that you should have it all figured out- that you are to give help, but dare not ask for it, for sign of weakness or lest someone find out about the real pain you’re carrying inside?
Did you learn that Christians don’t need therapy or were you told that if you ask for help it means you don’t trust God?
As women we’ve internalized countless messages from society, from the church, from our family, many not valid, not helpful, or not in actual alignment with God’s truth.
The truth is, you are a Christian, but you are still human. As Christians we still experience trauma and heartbreak. And much of the pain we are carrying is unnessary and not in alignment with God’s plan for us.
I have helped countless women like you: you love God but don’t always love yourself. You often put yourself last or hide behind your caretaking qualities.
I’ve created a space for you that honors your faith, that is open and compassionate, that is Holy Spirit driven, and that marries scripture with psychology and innovate, evidence based trauma therapies. Christian gals need Christian Counseling that is trauma-informed and holistic. I invite you to schedule a free call with me to learn more.
