Ms Kathleen Bornarth

Counselor

“I’m a Christian counselor. That means, I incorporate spiritual truths into my practice. I offer caring counseling services and accept ins.”

About Me

As a Christian counsellor, I understand the importance of faith in your life. I thoughtfully integrate spiritual truths into our sessions. This offers a compassionate space where your beliefs are respected and valued. We can explore challenges through a lens that honours your whole self. For those seeking support aligning with their Christian walk, I provide a grounded, caring partnership. Together, we can navigate life's complexities.

Approach

You’ll find sessions rooted in faith-informed reflection paired with practical next steps, letting your questions shape the pace and focus. I meet with clients in Holly Ridge, North Carolina and by secure online video in English, keeping sessions steady and predictable so adolescents, adults and elders feel safe to explore hard topics. We use gentle mindfulness, targeted coping strategies for anxiety, grief, anger and memory concerns, and brief coaching between appointments to build new habits while honoring your convictions. This approach suits those wanting faith-aligned care that leads to usable change.
