🌿 Now Hiring Female, Christian LPC! 🌿

Hi friends! We are seeking a Christian woman who is a fully licensed professional counselor (LPC) and has a solid theological foundation — someone who desires to integrate faith and clinical excellence in her work.

If you or someone you know has a heart for helping others through Christ-centered counseling and would like to serve clients in a faith-based private practice, I’d love to connect and share more details. (BCBS approved.)

Please message me directly or tag someone who might be a good fit. 💬

Let’s keep building spaces where faith and therapy walk hand in hand. 💛
