Grace Elle Gessel, LCSW
Preferred Name: Grace
About Me
I offer EMDR with a faith-centered approach, virtually across the state of Texas.
For Christians, care that does not center the redemptive relationship with the Savior is incomplete. I offer a space that is unapologetically faith-inclusive and welcoming no matter where you are along your walk-maybe you're in full-blown spiritual crisis after surviving spiritual abuse, maybe your faith is strong but you're struggling in your relationships with yourself and others, perhaps you're not sure where you fall with your faith and you are feeling lost.
Regardless of where you are, I want you to know that God is writing your testimony right now. Now is as good a time as ever to receive support and care from a fellow believer, who is also a mental health professional, and navigating this world of brokenness alongside you.
If you are curious if we could be a good fit, I invite you to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation with me. I can be found at throughfaiththerapy.com/contact
