Get To Know September

Are you in despair? Many of the people who come to see me are. They have tried everything they can think of to overcome their depression, anxiety, or eating disorder. Therapy is a last resort. Most are desperate for healing. It is very difficult to face “I may not overcome this issue without help.” That’s where I come in. It’s important to me that you know I care about you and the difficulties you are facing. Having walked with so many on a similar journey, I understand what it’s like to be in your shoes. Most importantly, I know how to help you heal.

The path to healing is not an easy one. It starts with acknowledging the hurt and the injuries that cause the hurt. This can be scary. My job is to be a knowledgeable and supportive guide as you work through the hurts that hold you back. Though you may feel alone, you never have to be alone.

Caring for others has always been a gift and a passion of mine. I felt called into the field of psychology while in high school and more specifically therapy while in my undergraduate work. God has provided me with the gift to empathize with you as well as provided me the opportunity to obtain the education necessary to help you. It is my calling to show God’s love through serving you.

I know it is very hard to ask for help when experiencing any type of personal difficulty. I understand how vulnerable you feel. I care about the issues you are experiencing, and I know how to walk you down the path of healing. If you are ready to start the journey, I would love to hear from you.

Eating Disorders Counseling

Battling an eating disorder is not something that can be easily overcome. Whether you battle with over eating, under eating, or purging, I have walked with individuals down the path of healing. I understand that it takes great courage to face an eating disorder head on. I also understand that eating disorders can seem so difficult because you cannot simply give up food, even if you would like to.

Depression & Anxiety Counseling

Depression can seem like a fog with no way out. Anxiety leaves you feeling like you’re always on edge. With both depression and anxiety, it can seem that there is nothing that can help. You may not even have the motivation to get help. I have worked with many individuals who struggle with these same issues. There is hope, and there is help.

Self-Harm Counseling

Learning your child is suffering from self-harm can be very scary. Having worked with many parents in this situation, I can help you walk through getting help for your child. For those who self-harm, it can feel like the only way to feel emotion or run away from emotion. It can be terrifying to continue cutting for fear of severely hurting yourself. It can also be difficult to imagine coping with life without cutting. It is possible to seek help and find healing. I work with individuals every day that experience these same emotions.

Testimonials

  • The Relationship Center [MyCounselor.Online] was perfect for our marriage at a very critical time. The crisis was handled and the issues that had to be addressed were brought to the forefront. Each issue was dealt with to resolution before working on the next one. The honest approach and no-nonsense no excuses accepted approach was right on. The skill of the staff was key to our success. The skills that we were given have made our marriage better than it has ever been. Our time with TRC [MyCounselor.Online] not only saved our marriage but made it amazing.

    Tim F

  • My husband and I have been going to TRC [MyCounselor.Online] for about 6 months and have gained valuable resources and tools to help our marriage. Rachelle is a great person and very knowledgeable. I would recommend TRC [MyCounselor.Online] and Rachelle to others.

    Cassandra B.

  • Our marriage was so horrible we thought Josh Spurlock would surely give us the green light that there was no hope and encourage us to go our separate ways. At least that’s what a previous counselor in town had told me to do. Instead, Josh used biblical principles to bring hope into a very dark, bleak situation. We saw Josh on and off for approximately three years. It took a lot of work to have the marriage we do today, but it was worth every penny and every session we attended with Josh. Josh is a phenomenal counselor. It was easy to even talk about those embarrassing, tough topics with him. God really used The Relationship Center[MyCounselor.Online] to restore our marriage. Anything is possible when you’re willing to get help, implement what you’re being taught, and add Christ as the third party in your relationship. Instead of being a single Mom to three kids, I now have the marriage I only thought existed if I was with someone else. It really is unbelievable.

  • I would like to thank Josh for his help in building a strong biblical foundation in our marriage. It is normal to experience situations that cause difficulties in your marriage, but having the courage to step out and ask for help from a faith centered therapist such as Josh can help ensure that God’s plan for your marriage is revealed. Josh Spurlock is a true man of faith that honestly cares about your marriage and is committed to taking a biblical approach to therapy in an effort to equip you with the tools that are essential for continued success and years of mutual understanding and happiness.

  • Absolutely TOP NOTCH! These guys are the best of the best. SO good at what they do and being able to hear what you are not saying. They don’t want to keep you sick in an effort to collect money. Their hearts are truly at the center of Jesus and healing. It’s changed my life. I’ve gone for 5 or more years and I’m still there. Best money and decision I’ve ever made in an effort to change my life and relationships. I’m so grateful for the investment Rebecca and Shaun have made in my life and the confidence and encouragement the two of them have given me. Both are equally special! Exactly what I needed for my process.

    Chelsea B

  • Investing in christian counseling made all the difference for us. We had come to a point in our marriage where we were not communicating with one another. We had kids, careers, schedules and routines, and felt we were functioning well enough. What we didn’t have was a connection to one another. We each approached situations from our own perspective never taking time to realize how that impacted the other, or how we had come to have that perspective in the first place. The counseling process allowed us to reconnect with ourselves and to one another and provided tools for us to use when we weren’t with our counselor. We consider it one of the best investments of time and finances we have ever made! We would recommend the counseling process and our counselor Rachelle Colegrove without hesitation.

    Brian & Julie U

  • I have been going to Melissa for a little over a year now and I can honestly say it is one of the highlights of my week every week. I feel that she has helped me through so much already and is extremely easy to talk to about anything. I really appreciate her listening and offering me wisdom every time I see her. I don’t know how I would’ve managed getting through this past year of my life at times if I had started going to The Relationship Center [MyCounselor.Online]. Also, I am so grateful that they worked with me financially to find something that fits my tight, college budget. I definitely tell everyone about this place when they ask me about where to go for counseling. Thank you so much.

  • Web-based interventions compared to non-Web-based interventions showed an improvement in outcomes.
     
    A University of California meta-analysis concluded that Web-based interventions compared to non-Web-based interventions showed an improvement in outcomes in a meta-analysis of 5 studies. The primary focus was self-care and self-management interventions to encourage individual's behavior change in the presence of a chronic illness or condition necessitating knowledge sharing, education, and understanding of the condition.

  • The effects of online psychotherapy outlasted the results of face-to-face counseling
    A University of Zurich study divided a group of 62 patients in half and found that depression was eased in 53 percent of those given online therapy, compared to 50 percent who had in-person counseling. Three months after completing the study, 57 percent of online patients showed no signs of depression compared to 42 percent with conventional therapy.

  • Online therapy significantly lowered the number of hospital visits among veterans.
    In a four-year Johns Hopkins study that included close to 100,000 veterans, the number of days that patients were hospitalized dropped by 25 percent if they chose online counseling. This is slightly higher than the number of hospital visits experienced by patients who used face-to-face counseling.
