Religious Trauma

I understand that the path to spiritual well-being can be a complex and challenging journey.  If you’ve experienced religious trauma, I am here to support you with empathy, respect, and deep understanding of the unique challenges you may face.

Your Journey, Your Healing:

Are you grappling with feelings of disillusionment in your faith?

Have you begun to question the black and white answers your faith provides?

Were you wounded by the Purity Culture within the church?

Were you raised in the church conflicted with the church’s teaching and your own sexuality or orientation?

Do you need to re-evaluate your sense of self now that you have reconstructed your belief system?

Have you become separated from a church community and now ask how to form community?

Do you struggle with being your authentic self?

Were you sexually or mentally abused by members in the church?

Scotty is here to guide you through these challenges, offering a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore and heal at your own pace.

Scotty was raised in an evangelical conservative church, providing him with an intimate awareness of the damage that can be caused by indoctrination into a faith. Drawing from his personal experiences, Scotty brings a compassionate and understanding approach to his counseling.

Scotty has attended numerous trainings and continues to stay abreast of the latest developments in the field. His educational focus includes studies on Religious Trauma, Highly Controlled Religious Groups, and the damaging effects of Purity Culture. Scotty is dedicated to furthering his knowledge to better assist those seeking healing.

Scotty utilizes methods taught by Marlene Winell, a pioneer in the study and healing of religious trauma. Through ongoing education, he incorporates the latest insights and evidence-based practices into his counseling sessions, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach tailored to your needs.
