Recommended Reading
A few of the books counselors in the Grace Clinic community return to — the kind you can sit with slowly, that meet the heart where it hurts.
Shame and Guilt
Earnest Kurtz, Ph.D. — “A major source of anxiety is the effort to will what cannot be willed.”
Addiction and Grace
Gerald May, M.D. — “True freedom can happen only if we completely trust in God’s care.”
Walking With God
John Eldredge — “We walk through the world too vulnerably when we refuse the deep things of our hearts.”
The Return of the Prodigal Son
Henri Nouwen — “The question is not how to find God, but how to let ourselves be found.”
Beyond these titles, their approach is shaped by voices such as Larry Crabb, Dan Allender, Henri Nouwen, David Benner, and Dallas Willard — writers who take both the wounds of the heart and the grace of God seriously.
What to Expect
Beginning is simpler than you might fear. Call our toll-free line at 1-888-861-5043 to reach our office. A client care coordinator listens to what brought you here and shares which counselors fit your preferences and availability — you choose your counselor.
You do not need a referral to begin. When you are ready, counselors meet with you in Orlando, Ocala, or Portland — or online with a counselor licensed in your state (currently Florida, Oregon, and North Carolina). Everything moves at a pace that honors the courage it took to reach out.
Sometimes all we need is someone to walk with us, saying, “Come, recover your heart.”
