More about Magnolia Counseling, LLC...

Here at Magnolia Counseling, recognizing the connection between an individual's mental and spiritual wellbeing is priority. In the years of practice, I have noticed the mental health field can leave somewhat of a void when it comes to giving proper credence to a client's faith. Nevertheless, I have experienced that by encouraging faith when working with mental health struggles, clients seem to have more joy, hope and peace in the midst of difficulties. Ultimately, I found that if I wanted to help individuals improve their mental health with lasting results, I needed to help client's not only focus on treating their mental health but also help them by inciting their faith.

​

In working with diverse populations and implementing various theoretical orientations, I have seen one commonality that has helped invaluably and that is to work on mental health while affirming the client’s Christian faith. This can be accomplished by simply encouraging clients to attend a Bible based church, reading scripture and/or helping clients build connections within their church. The idea is to meet clients where they are and help them on their journey to healing in their mental health by also encouraging them to seek the Lord, thus instilling hope in the difficulties. When the focus is on Christ, all things are possible, and this includes improvements in mental health.
