Mental Health Coaching – Wake Forest, North Carolina
Why Mental Health Coaching?
Mental health coaching provides a safe environment to discuss the burdens and perplexities of your story and the things that trouble you. As a storyteller at heart, Virginia wants to understand your story in order to help you gain clarity on the troubles you are encountering and utilize the gifts that God has given you to live joyously in a broken world. She believes that story is essential to how we understand our lives. Stories from the Bible, literature, history, and elsewhere can help us understand ourselves, the world, and our own stories by providing a way to entertain new ideas and see them lived out. By engaging their imaginations through story and counsel, Virginia helps her clients to express, understand, and re-story their own story—who they are, what they want, and how to embark on new and healthier behaviors by reordering their lives around God and others.

Testimonials
After many years of stressful family situation, my husband and I found ourselves at a fragile place with lots of confusion, questions and hurts. Virginia helped us to walk with God and let Him lead us into healing and strengthening in our marriage. It was hard work, but in the process, each of us received healing, strengthening, and a renewed commitment. We are very grateful for our work with Virginia. Often I felt that she was equally a trusted friend and Christian sister, as she was a [mental health coach]. I’m very thankful for my experience and would definitely go back to Virginia should a need arise. I would also recommend her without any reservations.

Working with Virginia has been delightful and has provided me many needed insights. I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder 8 years ago, and I have seen many therapists and psychiatrists. These professionals have given me vital support, but Virginia has spoken to the deeper struggles of why is this happening and how do I hope in the midst of pain. Psychologists and therapists have offered coping skills and ways to avoid the negative impact of mental illness. Virginia has walked with me on the journey of relating to God through the suffering of mental illness and on this path to redeem my pain for God’s glory and my good. God has used Virginia mightily in my life to speak loving truth when I most need it and to bring healing to the broken places. I thank God for her.

I found Growing Joy during a hard time in my life. Virginia has helped me cope with mental illness and struggles in my faith. She provides insightful wisdom, and I especially love the work she gives me to complete outside of session. I’ve seen a few counselors in my life, but she has been the best. I am very thankful for Growing Joy!
