Frequently asked questions
We understand that choosing a counselor and beginning therapy can bring up many questions. Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive at From Grief to Growth “Healing Hearts”. If you don't find what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to reach out via our Contact page.
What are the most common questions potential clients have before booking a session with you?
What can I expect during my first session? Your first session is a gentle introduction. We'll talk about what brought you here, what you're hoping to heal, and what support looks like for you. There is no pressure - just a safe, compassionate space to breathe, release, and begin.
How is faith incorporated into counseling? Faith is woven in with care and sensitivity. I use biblical principles, prayer, and spiritual encouragement to guide your healing, but never in a way that feels forced. You decide the pace, and together we create a space where God's presence meets your process.
Is counseling confidential? Absolutely. Everything you share remains private. Your story, your pain, your growth - all of it is protected and honored.
How long does the healing process take? Every journey is unique. Some clients begin to feel lighter within a few sessions; others take more time. Healing isn't rushed here - you grow at the pace that feels right for your heart.
Do you work with grief, trauma, and emotional pain? Yes. I specialize in helping individuals navigate grief, heartbreak, life transitions, emotional wounds, and seasons of deep spiritual struggle.
What makes your approach different? My approach blends emotional support with spiritual grounding. It's compassion, faith-driven, and rooted in the belief that healing isn't just possible - it's promised when you walk with God through the process.
Do you offer virtual sessions? Yes. You can connect from the comfort of your home through secure virtual sessions.
How do I know if counseling will work for me? If you're willing to show up, be honest, and allow yourself to be guided, counseling can help you. You're not "too broken," "too far gone," or "too behind." Healing is for you.
What are your rates? Do you offer payment plans? Pricing is transparent, and payment plans are available. I believe support should be accessible, and we'll discuss the best option for your needs.
Do you offer group sessions? Yes. Group therapy is available for those who feel strengthened by shared experiences and community connection.
When is your next availability for new clients? We are no welcoming appointment request for 2026 as we continue serving hearts on their healing journey. Early booking is recommended.
What are the top 3 things you want people to understand about your counseling services after reading the FAQ?
1. You are safe here. My counseling space is private, protected, and judgement-free. Your story, your tears, your questions - they are honored. You don't have to pretend, perform, or hold everything together. This is a place where you can breathe.
2. Healing is possible for you - truly. Whether you're carrying grief, heartbreak, trauma, or years of silent pain, you are not beyond restoration. With a blend of emotional support and faith-based guidance, we take healing one step at a time. You don't have to do this alone.
3. My approach is personal, compassionate, and rooted in faith. This isn't clinical, cold, or distant. It's heart-to-heart work. Together, we invite God into your healing journey, explore what's weighing on your soul, and build practical steps towards emotional, spiritual, and personal growth.
What are the biggest hesitations or concerns people have about seeking faith-based counseling?
"Will my counselor judge me?" People fear they'll be shamed for their choices, struggles, or past. They worry the counseling will feel condemning rather than compassionate.
"Will my pain be minimized with quick scriptures or cliches?" Some believe faith-based counselors only offer Bible verses instead of real emotional support, therapeutic strategies, or deep processing.
"How much 'faith' will be forced into the process?" Clients often feel that spiritual practices or beliefs will be pushed on them, or that their personal spiritual journey won't be respected.
"Will the counselor understand real-life trauma?" There's concerns that faith-based counseling may overlook mental health tools, trauma responsiveness, or evidence-based methods.
"What if I'm angry at God..can I still come?" Clients wonder if it's safe to share doubts, frustration, or spiritual wounds without being criticized or dismissed.
"Is this only for 'church people'?" Some worry they won't fit in if they didn't grow up in church, aren't currently attending, or feel disconnected from their faith.
"Is faith-based counseling professional?" People question whether you're trained, licensed, or equipped beyond spiritual encouragement.
"What if I'm not ready to talk about my faith at all?" Clients often fear they'll be pushed into spiritual conversations before they're emotionally ready.
"Will my personal struggles conflict with Christian values?" People dealing with grief, relationships, sexuality, shame, trauma, or past decisions worry they won't be understood.
"What if I don't know why I believe anymore?" Many hesitate because they are questioning God, faith, or their identity- and don't know if faith-based counseling welcomes that.
