Discover Healing Through Christian Counseling
Find comfort, clarity, and spiritual connection with counseling rooted in both evidence-based care and compassionate Christian principles.
No pressure. Just a simple conversation to explore if this feels right for you.
Your Faith is Sacred. Your Healing Matters.
You might be carrying emotional burdens that don’t have easy answers. Anxiety, grief, trauma, or feeling spiritually disconnected—these wounds are deeply human and deeply sacred.
At Lifetouch, I honor the fullness of your experience—emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically. My Christian counseling isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you rediscover hope.
When Faith & Mental Health Feel at Odds
You might be thinking:
- “Shouldn’t I be able to pray my way through this?”
- “What if I disappoint God by feeling this way?”
- “I don’t want a therapist who doesn’t understand my beliefs.”
You’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling confused or ashamed—wanting healing, but unsure where to turn.
Christian counseling bridges the gap between your emotional health and your spiritual walk. I’ll meet you where you are with compassion, not judgment.
My Approach: Clinically Sound. Spiritually Grounded.
As a licensed professional and a person of faith, I offer:
- Evidence-based therapies like, EMDR, and mindfulness
- Scripture and spiritual insights woven in respectfully
- Prayer and biblical integration, if desired
- A safe space for processing doubt, anger, or grief
You’ll never be pressured into anything. This is your journey. I’m simply here to walk alongside you.
“Before I started therapy, I felt like my faith wasn’t enough—but I was afraid therapy would contradict it. Lifetouch showed me both could work together.”
What Healing Can Look Like
Clients often describe their counseling experience this way:
- “I finally feel at peace.”
- “I’ve reconnected with God in a real, personal way.”
- “I have tools to manage my anxiety—and my faith is stronger for it.”
- “It’s the first time someone really got me—both emotionally and spiritually.”
“Sheila Porter is a deeply compassionate therapist who creates a safe, welcoming space. Her blend of psychological expertise and faith-based insight has been invaluable in my healing journey. She truly cares and offers both emotional support and practical tools.”- Jenene Hinson
Your transformation won’t happen overnight, but it will happen with support, presence, and grace.
