Christian therapy

You’re feeling tired and discouraged, wondering if you’re broken and if things can ever get better than this.

Depression and anxiety have become your norm, and you’re not sure how to get out of the spiral. You feel disconnected from others, lacking the joy that you once envisioned for yourself as you move through unexpected interruptions of grief, illness, or disconnection.

Plan A hasn’t exactly worked out - maybe B, C, or D either. You’re not sure what’s next.

Was life supposed to be this hard?

Is there hope for healing?

Dr. Irene Kraegel, through Dwell Psychological Services, helps Christians heal and grow through pain, utilizing evidence-based psychology. (ancient ceramic vessel with handles and a cracked, chipped rim, displayed on a wooden surface)

We seek treatment for our broken bones, failing eyesight, and flu symptoms. It makes sense to also seek treatment for our broken hearts, anxious minds, and struggling relationships.

God made us for restoration, as “jars of clay” that are forever being mended and repaired. Therapy is one of those tools, similar to medicine, that is grounded in evidence-based research while being rooted in the wisdom of the ages. Therapy works!

I can help you gain clarity on what is ailing you, create a plan for healing, and then walk steadily back toward the light. As we do this sacred work together, there will be both tears and laughter because that’s what it’s like to be human, to heal, and to find your joy again.

Restoration is waiting.

What to Expect

Free phone consult

We’ll start with a brief phone call. I want to make sure you feel comfortable talking with me, that you’re clear on how it all works, and that I feel confident I can help you. You can ask any questions that help you feel ready for the good work of therapy.

I get it - finding the right therapist is a big deal, and you need to know I’m the right fit before you can feel comfortable jumping in.

Intake session

You’ll fill out some paperwork online, then in our first session (either in-person or online) you’ll fill me in on what you’ve been through, what you’re experiencing now, and what you hope to get out of therapy. In response, I’ll share initial reflections and assesment, along with recommendations.

You’ll leave with some relief at getting started and having a better feel for what to expect.

Ongoing sessions

I’ll hold a weekly therapy time for you, which will be 50 minutes long. Once you’re feeling better, you can choose if you would like to decrease frequency to biweekly or less as you begin integrating your therapy skills into your life on a more independent basis.

You can let me know along the way what’s working for you so I can make adjustments as needed - this time is for you!
