Favorite Scripture: Romans 12:12
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

People Who Inspire You: Mother Theresa and Helen Keller

Weird Quirks: I am clumsy and blind. I also have a spiritual gift of never tightening lids on things.

Something People Don’t Know About You: I was a children’s behavioral health counselor before going into ministry.

Things That Fascinate You: Psychology and human behavior has always been a passion of mine. It fascinates me to learn about the mind and human behavioral patterns to get a better understanding of why people do the things they do and how I can better relate to them.

Life-Changing Moment: One of the biggest life changing moments I have ever experienced was while I was doing mission work in Uganda. I have experienced worship on many different levels, but I never experienced worship in the way I did while I was at a children’s prison. To see these children, who had nothing to offer according to the world’s standards, worship with full surrender and thankfulness was beyond humbling.

I specialize in helping men and couples heal from relationship trauma, whether that trauma stems from challenges within a marriage or past experiences that have been brought into the relationship. Together, we can work to uncover the root causes of your struggles, whether it’s unaddressed emotional pain, unhealthy coping mechanisms, or the underlying beliefs that continue to drive your actions. While my specialty includes relationship trauma and men struggling with unwanted sexual behaviors, my clinical experience includes treatment of a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and compulsive/addictive behaviors.

I understand what it feels like to be stuck in cycles of shame and frustration, especially when it comes to struggling with sexual integrity. From the outside looking in, I had it all. A loving wife, beautiful family, successful career, I was living the dream…it seemed. However, what no one saw was the secret life I was living and the sin and shame that had me trapped. If you find yourself in a similar place—feeling trapped by behaviors that undermine your sense of self-worth, your relationships, or your life goals—I want you to know that there is hope. I have seen God’s redeeming work in the lives of countless men and couples that I have had the privilege to walk alongside.

Through a personalized approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we will work to heal the deeper issues at the heart of your struggles. CBT helps identify and realign faulty beliefs that are holding you back, while EFT focuses on the primary emotions driving unhealthy behaviors and sabotaging your connection with others. My goal is to walk with you through this difficult journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. It’s not just about overcoming specific behaviors—it’s about reclaiming your identity and restoring your sense of purpose.

Healing, redemption, and freedom are possible, but it takes commitment, hard work, and a willingness to face the challenges ahead. Together, we will work toward rebuilding trust, growing in empathy, and restoring intimacy in your relationships. Whether you are seeking to rebuild your marriage, restore your sexual integrity, heal from past trauma, or address other concerns in your life, I am here to meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence.

In addition to running a counseling practice, Healing Journey Counseling, with my wife Leah, I am currently on staff at Cottonwood Creek Church, where I lead the Sexual Integrity Ministry. My educational background includes a BS in Psychology from Texas A&M University and a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. We have 2 beautiful children and love being anywhere outdoors.

Sarah Black

From a young age, Sarah has always had a heart for helping others. After graduating high school, she set out to enter the mental health field but life events led her to the corporate world, where she spent a decade developing valuable skills. Despite her success, Sarah felt a longing to make a deeper impact, which led her to transition into education. Working as a high school teacher and counselor reignited her passion for helping others, particularly adolescents, as they navigate the complexities of life.

Sarah’s approach to therapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but she also integrates principles from Neuropsychotherapy to offer a holistic approach to mental health. Her years of experience working with at-risk teenagers have deepened her understanding of how the brain processes experiences differently for each individual, making her well-equipped to support clients in piecing together the puzzle of their lives.

For Sarah, the ideal therapeutic relationship is a collaboration. She believes that clients often have the answers within themselves but sometimes need guidance to discover them. Her role is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel supported and comfortable to share. By closely observing verbal and non-verbal cues, Sarah ensures that each session provides the comfort and trust clients need to fully open up and grow.

Over the last 12 years, Sarah has helped teenagers, particularly those facing anxiety, depression, and other challenges, develop life skills that endure beyond therapy. She is passionate about empowering her clients to self-advocate and find their voices.

Sarah is dedicated to her own professional development and attends the Adolescent Mental Health Symposium annually. She is also pursuing additional training in CBT and Neuropsychotherapy to continue offering the best care possible to her clients.

When not in session, Sarah enjoys listening to audiobooks, traveling, and visiting beaches, which she finds calming and rejuvenating. She looks forward to helping you navigate your own journey towards self-discovery and personal growth, one piece at a time.
