Affordable Faith-Based Counseling in Phoenix
|
Hi, I’m Tres. I provide Christian counseling for adults and teens facing personal, relational, spiritual, and professional challenges. For 14 years, I’ve walked alongside people through some of the most difficult and meaningful seasons of their lives.
If your faith is important to you, you shouldn’t have to leave it at the door when you come to counseling. My approach creates room to speak honestly about what you’re facing while also exploring the beliefs, values, relationships, and spiritual questions that shape your life. I know that everyone’s journey is unique. No two people have the same story, so our work will be shaped around your situation, goals, values, and faith. You may be deeply committed, spiritually seeking, wrestling with what you believe, recovering from painful experiences in the church, or simply trying to understand where God is in the middle of what you’re going through. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You’ll have a place to speak honestly, examine what matters most, understand the patterns shaping your life and relationships, and work toward greater clarity, strength, and wholeness. My approach depends on your needs, but I often integrate perspectives and practices from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Bowen family systems, Internal Family Systems (IFS), personality theory (Christian DISC®), emotional intelligence, sandtray therapy, and spiritual direction. Together, these approaches can help us understand the deeper forces shaping your reactions, relationships, beliefs, and sense of purpose. We can examine the patterns you’ve inherited, the parts of yourself that may be pulling in competing directions, and the spiritual or existential questions beneath what you’re facing. |

My faith has always been central to my calling. When I first felt called to ministry, I assumed that meant becoming a pastor in a traditional church. Over time, I found the Spirit leading me in a different direction, toward pastoral counseling and walking alongside people one-on-one through the personal, painful, and meaningful parts of their lives. I’ve come to see this work not as a departure from ministry, but as the particular form my ministry was always meant to take.
Sliding Scale Christian Counseling
Almost all of my clients pay the standard rate of $195 per session. However, through Prism Connection, I’m able to offer a limited number of appointments on a sliding scale of $75 to $150 per 50-minute session for those who otherwise may not be able to afford my regular rate.
We do not accept insurance. Instead, our sliding scale helps make counseling more affordable without involving an insurance company in your care. This allows for greater privacy and flexibility. You won’t need a mental health diagnosis for insurance billing, and an insurance company won’t determine how many sessions you’re allowed to have. You and I can decide together how often we meet and how long our work continues based on your needs, goals, and circumstances.
Wherever you are in your journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you take the next step.
