Helping Adults Heal from Shame, Clarify Values, and Move Forward with Greater Freedom

At Mountain View Counseling, we know that life can feel overwhelming, messy, and confusing — especially when you’ve spent years trying to solve your own challenges and keep hitting the same walls. Maybe your relationships don’t feel fulfilling, your work feels meaningless, or your actions don’t seem to align with your values. If you find yourself asking, “Why am I still stuck?”, you’re in the right place.

A Grace-Filled Place for Healing and Growth 

Our therapists are committed to creating an environment marked by grace, dignity, and respect. In individual therapy, you are not treated as a problem to be fixed, but as a whole person with inherent value and dignity.

We understand the difficulty of talking about experiences you’ve carried quietly for a long time — things that may feel painful, confusing, or difficult to put into words. Individual therapy is a collaborative, one‑on‑one process where you can bring your whole story — your thoughts, emotions, struggles, and hopes — to a trained professional who will listen without judgment. Together, we work to understand where the patterns that keep you stuck began, how they’ve shaped your present, and what healing and freedom can look like moving forward. 

Our Therapeutic Approach

Our counselors draw from evidence‑based, trauma‑informed approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with other clinically sound methods.

Through individual therapy, we help clients:

  • Heal from past wounds that continue to influence the present

  • Reduce shame and develop greater self‑compassion

  • Clarify personal values and live in alignment with them

  • Build healthier patterns in relationships, work, and daily life

  • Develop a stronger sense of clarity, direction, and internal coherence

Our work is both insightful and practical, offering space for thoughtful reflection while also helping you make real, lived changes.

Faith-Informed Counseling, Tailored to You

 For clients who desire it, we offer therapy that thoughtfully integrates faith and spirituality. We recognize that “Christian counseling” means different things to different people, so our therapists take time to understand what you are looking for.

Some clients want explicit conversation around Scripture and theology. Others simply want a therapist who understands their spiritual framework without requiring explanation. Some prefer to focus on therapy without faith being central at all. We honor your preferences and allow your values to guide the work — never forcing a particular agenda.

Individual Therapy for Faith-Related Concerns

Mountain View Counseling has particular experience working with individuals who are navigating shame and faith‑related concerns, including those recovering from spiritually legalistic or fear‑based church environments.

Many clients are not looking to abandon their faith — but they are seeking a healthier, more grace‑filled way of relating to God, themselves, and others. Therapy can help you:

  • Distinguish between conviction and unhealthy guilt

  • Untangle faith from shame and fear

  • Reconnect with values that feel authentic and life‑giving

  • Live with greater integrity and internal coherence

We believe it’s possible to heal from harmful spiritual experiences without throwing out faith altogether.

What You Can Expect

In individual therapy at Mountain View Counseling, you can expect:

  • A confidential, non‑judgmental space

  • A therapist who listens carefully and thinks with you

  • A conversational, personalized approach

  • Progress shaped by grace rather than pressure

Over time, many clients report feeling less burdened by shame, more aligned with their values, and more confident in how they are living their lives.
