Immanuel Therapy is for anyone who wants therapy based on Christian identity and is open to inviting the Lord Jesus into the conversation. You can view it as group therapy with Jesus, where I facilitate the discussions.

In Immanuel Therapy, we invite the presence of the Lord Jesus into these deep, painful moments. By bringing Him into the healing process, we seek His guidance and peace as we work through the emotional and psychological wounds these events may have left behind. If any of these experiences resonate with you, feel free to reach out, and together, we can seek healing and restoration through His love and presence.
Unfortunately, issues such as spiritual abuse, manipulation, or even physical abuse can also occur in religious settings. These experiences can lead to deep feelings of betrayal, confusion, and loss of trust, both in people and in God.
If you have faced mistreatment within the church, such as being emotionally or physically abused, silenced, or hurt by those in spiritual leadership, it can be incredibly difficult to process these wounds. You may wrestle with questions about faith, your relationship with God, and how to move forward within a religious community.
In Immanuel Therapy, we bring the Lord Jesus into these painful experiences, trusting that He offers healing for even the most painful church-related trauma. Together, we can explore the impact these situations have had on you, and seek God’s restorative presence to help rebuild trust, peace, and healing in your heart. If you are dealing with church-related pain, please reach out, and we can walk this journey toward healing and renewal together.
You may also experience physical symptoms if you’re struggling with psychological issues, such as:
• Dizziness
• Heart palpitations
• Fatigue
• Weight changes
• Insomnia or excessive sleep
• Dry mouth
• Headaches
• Pressure on the chest
• Shortness of breath
• Muscle or joint pain
Believers often have specific questions along with their psychological struggles, such as: “Where is God in my problems?”, “Am I living well enough?”, “Am I sinful?”, questions about their image of God, problems in the world, “Who am I?”, “How do I deal with addictions, sexuality, or conflicts in relationships?”, struggles with church attendance, or questions about meaning and purpose. “Is God angry with me? How does He see me?” Often, we think God thinks the same about us as our parents do. Is that true? You can also reach out to me for help with these questions.
