Are you ready to move forward—free from the emotional weight of your past, empowered to live with purpose, peace, and renewed hope?
At Refreshing Waters Counseling & Consulting, we believe healing is possible when you’re supported in both spirit and mind. Led by Sheila Renae Burns, a faith-integrated therapist and coach, our practice is rooted in compassionate care, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to whole-person wellness. Whether you're carrying the burden of anxiety, walking through grief, or working to heal from generational trauma, our goal is to help you rise and reclaim your life.

The counseling relationship can be the beginning of something powerful.
Taking the step to begin therapy can feel overwhelming—but it’s also brave. Sheila understands the courage it takes to show up, especially when you're used to carrying so much for others. Together, we’ll explore the circumstances, patterns, and mindsets that have kept you stuck. You’ll be given tools to navigate life’s challenges, space to process your pain, and guidance to help you reconnect with who God created you to be.

Areas of Focus:
We offer counseling and coaching for individuals, couples, and families, with experience in:

Anxiety and stress management

Trauma recovery (including EMDR for sexual trauma, childhood wounds, and complex PTSD)

Faith-based inner healing

Emotional exhaustion and burnout

Relationship issues and communication challenges

Generational trauma and legacy work

Modalities used include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Christian counseling and prayer-based interventions

Our approach is warm, honest, and transformational.
Clients often describe Sheila as grounded, intuitive, and deeply empathetic. Her unique ability to blend biblical wisdom with evidence-based practices creates a safe and sacred space for true transformation. You won’t be met with judgment—you’ll be met with hope.

If you’re feeling worn out by life, stuck in old cycles, or unsure of where to go next, let’s talk. You were never meant to do this alone. We’d be honored to walk with you through your healing journey.

Your restoration begins here—with a step, a breath, and a belief that change is possible.
