Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression distort how we feel, think, and handle mundane activities such as sleep, nutrition, and work for extended periods of time. Pastoral counseling can help you bring these struggles to God, examine the beliefs feeding them, and build practical, faith-rooted rhythms. If symptoms are severe, persistent, or interfering with daily life, we will help you connect with licensed care.

Emotional Dysfunction

Experiencing abuse or trauma can create toxic beliefs about ourselves that result in feelings of anger, rejection, worthlessness, low self-esteem, shame, emotional shutdown, and self-hatred. Internalizing these poisonous lies leads to emotional dysphoria and dysfunction where we oftentimes create false identities for ourselves.

Family Conflict

Family conflict is inevitable. Dysfunctional families are the rule, not the exception. A functional family is best described as one that handles their dysfunction with love and grace. Every family experiences conflict. It’s still a challenge to navigate though. Oftentimes an outside perspective creates clarity for the family to find resolution.

Marriage & Relationships

Marriages and relationships are hard work. There are seasons when communication with our significant others feels impossible. Sometimes deeply rooted or toxic problems arise threatening to destroy a relationship we’ve spent years cultivating. Our pastoral counselors give you a safe space and Biblical tools you need to overcome these obstacles.

Addictions

Addictions affect people and their loved ones in many different ways. Not only are there substance addictions, such as alcohol and drugs, but there are also behavioral addictions like sex, pornography, food, video games, social media. Pastoral counseling can walk with individuals and families toward freedom in Christ, alongside the medical or licensed addiction treatment that recovery often requires.

Coaching

Coaching looks at your present functioning along with your future potential in order to help you unlock your giftings, passions, and talents so that you can succeed in being all that God has called you to be. It helps you move beyond your current limitations to set and accomplish God-sized goals for your life.

Grief & Trauma

Grief and trauma can develop deep roots in our identity if left unresolved. Whether it’s childhood trauma, loss of a loved one, sexual trauma, or any other form, it needs resolution. Pastoral counseling offers a safe place to grieve, lament, and bring your story to God. When trauma symptoms disrupt daily life, licensed trauma care is an important part of healing, and we can help you find it.

Spiritual Warfare

There is a real spiritual enemy seeking to wreak havoc and destruction in our lives. We suffer under the enemy far more than we need to because we willingly walk in sin or believe the enemy’s lies. A spiritual counselor equips you to recognize the enemy’s attacks while helping you develop a successful counter-attack.

Spiritual Abuse

Spiritual abuse is rampant. This kind of abuse must be handled with special care because of how it impacts our identity while creating an unnecessary barrier between us and God. The help of a skillful and trusted guide is essential in healing spiritual wounds and restoring a proper understanding of God, ourselves, and others.

Biblical

Pastoral Counseling – Who is better qualified to speak to the human condition than the One who created everything? Thankfully, God has spoken to us through the Bible. Since the Bible is the Word of God, we frame our counseling around the truths that are communicated in it. To ignore what God has to say about how to live in our broken world is like trying to drive a car with no engine. NuWell grounds all of our counseling in the Bible.

Practical

When God created the world, He created order out of chaos. As the Logos, or the Word, God is Reason that reforms foolishness. As image bearers of God, we are invited to seek wisdom and order in our own lives. Pastoral counseling is practical as well as prayerful: we help you name what is happening, examine it in the light of Scripture, and take concrete next steps. It is non-clinical care, so it does not include diagnosis or psychotherapy.

Broken

The world as we all currently experience it is NOT the way God intends for it to stay. Our world is broken. And, everything is affected by it. The Bible calls this brokenness sin. There is, however, a little good news. Since every single one of us encounters the damage and injury of sin, this means that you’re not alone with your struggles! Our pastoral counselors will never judge you and are here to help, no matter where you are in your journey.

Hope

But there’s even better news! God has promised that light can shine through your darkest hour. When all the darkness of the world converged on the crucified Son of God Jesus – He died. For 3 days while He was in the grave, brokenness had the final word. But then, Jesus resurrected, and in that darkest of all moments, God proclaimed that no matter how bleak your situation may be, the hope of an abundant life can still happen for you – starting right now.

Spiritual

Lasting change rarely comes from addressing only part of a person. Your physical, emotional, and relational life matters, and so does your spiritual life. Our pastoral counselors understand that God has not left humans alone to deal with the brokenness we encounter in our lives. He is here with us through the Spirit. And where the Spirit is, there’s power. Our pastoral counseling helps you draw on that power.

Victory

God is making all things new – the way they were supposed to be all along! This includes us, too. No matter what brokenness and pain you are experiencing in your life and how overwhelming it feels, you can have the victory and the abundant life you were meant to have right now. Together, we’ll embark on your wellness journey where our hard work will transform your life. Don’t wait any longer to have victory in your life. We’ll be with you every step of the way.

Finding the Right Online Counselor for You

The most important part of your wellness journey is finding a guide who connects with you. Here are a few of our specialties:

Coaches

When pastoral counseling isn’t the right fit for your goals, then coaching may be what you need. Your goals may be related to marriage, family, health, career, spirituality, or emotional well-being, and our coaches are equipped to help you surpass them.

When you need extra insight, accountability, and a game plan to accomplish your God-sized goals, our coaches are ready.

Pastoral Counselors

Our pastoral counselors have diverse theological backgrounds but are united under Biblical Christianity. Pastoral counselors specialize with people who have spiritual questions, have suffered from spiritual abuse, or are engaged in spiritual warfare.

When you need guidance focused on your spiritual self, then one of our credentialed pastoral counselors will be a great fit.

When You Need Licensed Care

Are you facing trauma, a mental-health condition, addiction, or abuse? Those concerns often call for licensed clinical care. Our pastoral counseling is non-clinical, so when you need assessment or treatment, we refer you to Grace Christian Counseling, a licensed, Christ-centered practice in the NuWell family. Pastoral support can continue alongside that care.

The Sage (Think Christian Yoda)

Sometimes it’s nice to process ideas and information that you’ve been working through with someone you trust in a safe space. Our sages are expert listeners adept at asking you the right questions for progress. Mature and seasoned ears you can trust.

When you’ve hit a road block in your processing and could use a seasoned and wise outside perspective, our sages are for you.
