ENCOURAGING LIVES ONE HEART AT A TIME

Welcome!

So you’re considering counseling…

You’ve come to the right place. Counseling is one resource that could help you get through the difficult times that we all experience in life. It’s a place to process your feelings, learn coping tools, and find equilibrium in the storms. Encouraged Hearts goal is to help individuals, couples, and families function better individually and as a unit by providing a warm and welcoming environment for each client, in a safe space, free of judgement. Encouraged Hearts counseling offers virtual counseling and in-person counseling in Bryan, Texas.

About our psychological health

Our psychological, emotional, and social well being is an important aspect of our overall health. In fact, when our mental health is out of balance it could have a negative impact on our physical health and vice versa. Common factors that affect our mental health include loss of a loved one, medical diagnosis, relational and family issues, difficulty finding life and work balance, job loss or work dissatisfaction, life transitions, and past or current traumatic events. These are part of living and being human.
