““The way she weaves the threads of neuroscience + psychology + Jesus is truly life-changing.
Christine guided me to healing and redemption where trauma and loss once staked their claim.””
As a trauma-informed counselor, I can walk with you through the pain of communication struggles, PTSD, depression, anxiety, trauma, betrayal, relational distress, loneliness, abuse recovery, and more. With deep insights into the neuroscience of trauma and the beauty of how healing can happen, I love being able to offer hope, healing and wholeness to my clients.
Individual COunseling
We live in a culture where admitting weakness can be looked down upon; where asking for help is a sign of weakness; where struggle is seen as a “bad” thing. And when it comes to the struggles we are having with navigating our lives, it can feel like an admission of failure to ask for help. But the truth is: we need each other. It’s okay to struggle. Distress is not a sign that YOU are a failure. It’s a sign that maybe you need someone to walk with you to help bring insight and direction. And hope. You can book now or Learn More-
Walking with couples
My desire is to meet couples right in the middle of those hurtful interactions, frustrating conflicts, and confusing patterns. I believe couple’s therapy should offer a safe place of acceptance, compassion, understanding, and exploration. I desire to meet couples just as they are and walk with them from a place of hurt, frustration, or confusion to a place of restoration, reconnection, and forgiveness. It is possible to make it to a place of healing; it helps to have someone walk with you and help untangle the old hurts and old ways of relating. You can book on online here or Learn More-
A second option from weekly counseling sessions is my Concentrated Couple’s Counseling, which is an intensive, therapeutic retreat and a revolutionary way to repair your relationship through 10 hours of in-depth, one-on-one counseling, all in one weekend. Sometimes 1 hour a week for 8-10 weeks can be too difficult to schedule and too slow for couples who need more concentrated care. Concentrated Couple’s Counseling is for couples who find themselves stuck and looking for ways to help progress in their relationship. The format has a minimum of 8 hours of focused counseling sessions over a 2 day period, and then 2 hours of follow-up afterwards. The warm, safe, grace-filled, and concentrated environment helps break down communication obstacles, uncover hidden barriers, and move participants quickly to core issues. This therapy option is led by both Christine Hoover, LPC, and her husband of 31 years, Chris. They have worked together with couples for over 25 years and have created their own model of concentrated counseling retreats call Cultivating Relationships.
Author Dan Allender says, "The work of restoration cannot begin until a problem is fully faced."
I firmly believe it takes courage to ask for help.
Let me help you face it.
