Faith & Harm · Austin, TX
Religious Trauma Therapy in Austin
For anyone whose spiritual community became a place of harm — and who needs somewhere safe to sort what to keep, what to grieve, and what to name.
Religious trauma is real, and it deserves specialized care. We hold space for the whole picture: the belief, the body, the community, the loss. You don't have to have your theology settled to begin.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I have to leave my faith to do this work?
No. Some clients stay, some leave, some find a version of faith they didn't know was possible. The direction is yours; the work is to unhook harm from belief.
Are you a Christian counselor?
Yes — and we work with clients across the spectrum, from committed to deconstructing to done. Faith is respected either way.
What modalities help with religious trauma?
EMDR for specific traumatic memories, IFS for the parts that carry shame or fear, and long-form talk work for meaning-making.
