God, Faith,and Therapy
Faith-Based Therapy for Emotional Healing and Spiritual Renewal
Healing the Mind and Spirit Through Christ-Centered Care
Areas of Focus
Specializing in aiding individuals in overcoming trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, I utilize a faith-based strategy incorporating Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Guiding clients on their path to healing, I weave in God's love for inner peace and completeness, drawing inspiration from Psalm 147:3 and Isaiah 41:10. In God's healing and strength, we discover solace, aligning mental and spiritual well-being harmoniously.
Why Choose Christian Therapy?
Choosing Christian therapy offers a unique opportunity to integrate your faith with professional counseling, addressing both your emotional and spiritual needs. Unlike secular therapy, Christian counseling allows you to explore life’s challenges through the lens of your beliefs, drawing strength and guidance from God’s Word. It provides a safe space to discuss your struggles, while also focusing on spiritual growth and healing through prayer, scripture, and a Christ-centered perspective.
Our Approach
At Mindi Bernice Counseling, my approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that emotional and spiritual healing go hand in hand. As a Christian counselor, I integrate prayer and Bible verses into our sessions when desired, helping you connect with God as part of your healing process. We can reflect on scripture that speaks to your specific struggles, allowing God’s Word to offer comfort and guidance. For example, we might explore Philippians 4:6-7, which reminds us to “not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Please don't hesitate to reach out to with any inquiries or dilemmas regarding Christianity for a caring conversation.

Shifting the Narrative of God's Disapproval Toward Therapy
Many people wonder if seeking therapy aligns with their faith, but the Bible offers reassurance that God supports our pursuit of healing and wholeness. In times of struggle, turning to therapy can be seen as a proactive step toward self-care and personal growth, which God encourages. In 1 Peter 5:7, we are reminded to “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” This verse emphasizes that God cares deeply for our struggles and invites us to seek His help.
​
Moreover, Proverbs 11:14 states, “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors, there is safety.” This highlights the value of seeking wisdom and support from others, including mental health professionals. It indicates that engaging with counselors and therapists can lead to greater understanding and safety in our emotional and spiritual lives.
​
Additionally, Jesus Himself showed compassion and understanding towards those who were suffering. In Matthew 11:28-30, He invites us to come to Him when we are weary and burdened, promising rest for our souls. Seeking therapy does not indicate a lack of faith; rather, it acknowledges our human need for help and connection. Ultimately, God desires for us to live in peace and fullness, and engaging in therapy can be a vital part of that journey. It allows us to process our emotions, heal from past wounds, and grow closer to God as we navigate life’s challenges with faith and support.
