At Fortify Christian Counseling, LLC no person is looked at as the problem, instead the problems presented during counseling are viewed as external to the individual, and as problematic symptoms of what is taking place within the larger system. With this in mind, the unique focus on the inner self during counseling incorporates a biblical worldview of wholeness, empirically supported clinical tools and evidence based interventions. Counseling is much more than simply sitting on a sofa and talking - it is an all-encompassing battle for the heart, the mind and the soul of each individual. We specialize in helping adults, teens, couples, and families with mental health and relationship issues.

September is Su***de Prevention Month

If you or a loved one are struggling, please know that you can call or text 988 to reach a trained crisis counselor at the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7.

Check on your friends and family, even those who seem to be doing fine. As God is near to the brokenhearted, so we too should draw near to each other so that no one is overlooked or struggling alone.

If you’d like someone to talk to in person or virtually, please don’t hesitate to contact us to schedule a session with one of our counselors.

This week, we wanted to highlight the cutest member of our team - Ruthie! 🐾

Therapy dogs can be such a valuable addition to a counseling session. They provide comfort, reduce stress, provide a safe distraction during difficult moments, and so much more.

❔FAQ Friday - What is a superbill?

If you have questions or need help submitting a superbill to your out of network insurance (Viva, Aetna, Cigna, etc) following your counseling session, your counselor would be happy to help.

Deep breath - the weekend is here! As many students are going back to school, it’s especially important for everyone (parents included!) to find pockets of rest during this hectic season.

A pattern we often see is:

Busyness ➡️ Stress ➡️ Anxiety

Taking time to rest isn’t lazy or irresponsible - it’s an essential part of caring for your mental health.

If this pattern sounds familiar, we’d love to help. Reach out today to schedule a session with one of our counselors 🌿
