Grace & Truth Counseling

07/15/2025

More good news...I now have an Indiana Counseling license, so I am able to provide Christian Counseling via telehealth to anyone in Illinois and Indiana as well as in-person at the two office locations. I'm working on getting health insurance panels credentialed for Indiana, so within a few months, I will hopefully be able to bill insurance companies throughout Indiana!

Survivors may grapple with feelings of responsibility for events beyond their control, self-blame, or the sense of having failed to prevent harm.
