Hope in times of uncertainty
Counselling and mental health resources for Christian communities
About Soma — Our Vision
A partner in healing for hearts and homes that hurt.
We are a group of certified, professionally trained therapists who are spiritually rooted in the Christian faith. We believe that, while each of our lives are touched by brokenness and suffering, Jesus is the ultimate source of healing. We desire to integrate the tools of psychotherapy with the healing ultimately found in Christ.
We are passionate about the God-given grace of loving community in one’s healing journey. We encourage our clients to involve theirs in the counselling process and help them do so in a safe and nurturing way.
What does counselling involve?
We understand the deep impact that mental wellness can have on all aspects of our lives – at work, school, church, and home, on our relationships, communities, and on our physical health. We strive to enter into our clients’ stories, attuning to God’s presence and calling in their lives. Having someone alongside us, supporting us spiritually, emotionally, and relationally through life’s challenges, can help us to heal.
