Biblical and Christian Counseling in 76225: Alvord, TX.

My name is Heather and I am a Christian that counsels. This makes me different from other Christian counselors. Because I know that not all Christians believe the same things, I aid you in using your Christian beliefs to find Godly solutions to your concerns. I strive to create a safe Christian fellowship with you that is without judgment or persecution. It is not my goal to have you believe in the same manner in which I believe but to aid you in living by the beliefs in which you hold.

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs. I was raised in a Christian household myself so I have an appreciation for the values instilled by religion, the importance of tradition, and the strength of community. My approach to counseling is humanistic and welcoming of all spiritualities. Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

For clients seeking Christian counseling, Dr. Minatrea integrates the wisdom of the Bible with the practice of psychology. She can offer tools to help you grow closer to God and provide guidance for making decisions that line up with the values of your faith. Dr. Minatrea's approach is based on the principle that "the truth will set you free" and uses a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and practices for spiritual growth, such as prayer, meditation, and scripture reading. Dr. Minatrea provides encouragement and coaching to help clients experience more love, more joy, and more peace as they discover God's plan and His love for them.

I work with many clients who have had traumatic experiences with religion or church, who may have even been hesitant to contact me because I am a believer. My feedback from these clients has been overwhelmingly positive. Spiritual trauma is all too prevalent. I also work with those who prefer me because of my Christian faith. No matter your background, whether a religious person or otherwise, I meet clients on their terms as they work to explore what they believe, not what I believe.
