Mental Health Support

Approaches Rooted in Faith and Evidence

EMDR Therapy

A powerful approach for processing trauma and painful memories that allows your mind and spirit to heal naturally. Through EMDR, we can address the root causes of anxiety, depression, and emotional disturbance in a gentle yet effective way.

Christian Counseling

Integrating faith and therapeutic healing to address spiritual concerns alongside emotional wellness. This approach honors your beliefs while providing practical tools for managing life's challenges and discovering your God-given purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Learning new ways of thinking and responding to life's stressors that align with your values and faith. CBT helps you develop the coping strategies needed to move from survival mode to truly thriving in your relationships and daily life.

About Debi

Debi Smith

Counselor, MA, LPCC

Come sit with me. Come experience a place of being seen and heard. A place where you can be yourself, where there is unconditional positive regard for you and your story. A place Where pain can be shared and healing can begin. Here at Dwelling Place Counseling you will find that you matter and you are important. We can discover together what keeps you stuck or what keeps your peace from being consistent. We can gain understanding of why your thoughts and behaviors are not aligning where you think they should be. We can explore the depths and the heights of trauma and its impact on you. Or why your thoughts and heart race when you think of being alone or you think you’ve made a mistake. You will find there is not a one size fits all strategy, but actually there are many modalities that can address each stressor and concern such as CBT, EMDR, IFS informed, and guided imagery, to name a few.

I am a faith based counselor and I believe that we were designed to be loved and love. At our core we desire belonging, love, understanding, and security. I allow space for the Holy Spirit to be present in each session. I leave discussing spiritual concerns up to each client as to honor each individual.

The next step after looking into therapy is another courageous move to reach out to begin addressing fears and find healing. I have many things to teach you along the way and I have many things to learn from you in your journey. Without risks there is little change, so I am looking forward to meeting you where you are and being there with each step toward change and freedom.
