The overall objective of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health.
Our Hope at The Bridge Therapeutic Services is to Bridge Christian counseling and whole health treatment together.
We want to normalize therapy for all as both preventative and interventive. Therapy is preventative in the form of teaching awareness, creating a toolkit, and building resilience to learn how to better manage stress. Therapy is intervenentive by helping people overcome challenges.

When struggling it is so important to look at infections and how they impact your mental health.
We had such a good time at Peace of Mind today, connecting with so many friends and meeting new friends too!
We loved hearing from Dr. Kristin Neff who spoke on Mindfulness Self Compassion. Research shows that just 30 seconds a day of checking in with yourself and giving yourself warmth and support is enough to increase self compassion.
Exciting news! We now have our Top Five Google Review Stand! Your kind reviews mean so much—they help us grow and guide others to the support they need.
Next time you stop by the lobby, just scan, share your encouraging thoughts, and make a difference. The link is included in the comments for your convenience as well.
Thank you for taking a minute to make a difference and helping others find their way to us. 💬✨
We are so thankful to have Misty Shultz, LPC join our office! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Misty is passionate about equipping others to heal through their trials in order to walk in joy, freedom, and peace.
After graduating from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Behavioral Analysis, Misty received Master’s degrees in Marriage and Family Counseling and Christian Education from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Since receiving her counseling license in 2009, Misty has become a Certified Life Coach, a Natural Health Practitioner, and is currently pursuing her doctorate in Wholistic Naturopathy.
Having walked through her own trials of loss, grief, sickness, and strife, Misty has a deep personal understanding of how trauma affects an individual - body, soul, and spirit. Her own journey gives Misty not only great compassion and empathy, but also experiential knowledge about the process necessary for healing to occur. Pain, disappointment, betrayal, and illness can leave us feeling “stuck”, anxious, and even hopeless. Thankfully, though, there IS hope!
Through both group and individual counseling / coaching sessions, Misty helps clients move out of the dark place of discouragement and into a place of physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
This “triune” approach to healing focuses on the whole person, a “triune” being created in the image of a “triune” God. Thus, Misty addresses not only the mental / emotional component of healing, but also the physical and spiritual aspects of the healing process as she utilizes both counseling and educational resources to facilitate personal healing and breakthrough.
Misty’s greatest desire is to see people move from surviving to thriving. She seeks to instill identity and impart wisdom as she equips her clients to heal so that they may joyfully fulfill the purpose for which they were created.

We are so thankful to be working together with the Amen Clinic to better help our counseling clients. We loved having Lisa from the Amen Clinic at our office today as we talked all about Brain Health.
“When your brain works right, you work right. But when your brain is troubled, you are much more likely to have trouble in your life.” Dr. Daniel Amen

A beautiful session this morning with a client led me to think about something…
Counseling isn’t necessarily about pointing out all yhe places where you’ve gotten it wrong. It’s more about helping you see where where you get to grow.
It’s very difficult to see ourselves clearly. The way others experience us usually tells a more accurate story. Connect with a trusted counselor or friend, there are safe spaces ready to welcome you and love you.

Recently Haley Harris, LPC spoke to Flint Baptist MOMSquad about surrendering. She discussed the basics of CBT and applied her own story to the concept of changing thoughts to help encourage the moms that no matter what they’re going through there is always hope and the power to change through His Holy Spirit at work in us.

Heart-Focused Christian Counseling at The Bridge means bringing purpose and hope to the lives of our clients. We believe if a person has purpose in the midst of their struggles, then they have hope, and having hope is having everything. As counselors, we desire to sojourn with our clients through their seasons in life by offering them a sound perspective that will encourage, sustain, and align them with The Truth. Heart-Focused Therapy aims to promote reconciliation for our clients within their relationships with others and with God through Jesus. This Biblically based therapy helps our clients by getting to the root of the problem to show where our hearts must change and grow. Our Christian counseling is provided within the framework of a trusting relationship between the therapist and client. We believe that God’s sovereign goodness not only overcomes our pain and suffering, but that it has been purposed for our good and God’s glory.
Whole Health Purposed
Whole Health at The Bridge means the integration of behavioral health (mind) with primary health care (body) to address the needs of our clients, families, and communities. By collaborating within our office and with community professionals we are able to enhance our client’s care by helping the whole person. We have created a community within our office to help and heal through connection. Our care is focused both on intervention for illness and prevention for wellness by putting our clients at the center of treatment. The overwhelming majority of all illness is stress induced. We believe that a healthy calm lifestyle along with connection helps and prevents illness while optimizing a person’s well being. We see behavior as a symptom telling us what the root problem is. Calming strategies, sensory integration, and mindfulness help our clients connect. We aim to be research and education based while understanding the structure and function of the nervous system and brain in our treatment.
Connection Heals
Connection at The Bridge means intentionally connecting with God, ourselves, and others. We are created by God to worship him and live a life connected to him. By having a Heart-Focused perspective in our relationship with God we become more rightly aligned with Him and therefore more connected with others and ourselves. God designed us to have a body, mind, and soul which are intricately and purposefully interwoven. By having a Whole Health perspective we understand that in times of difficulty we need help to reconnect. We are designed to live in relationship with our family, friends, and community. By having a connection perspective, which emphasizes God, ourselves, and others we are able to more fully bridge Heart-Focused Therapy and Whole Health together.
