My name is Ja’Keil Gilchrist, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). In my experience as a mental health professional, I have seen a lot but a common theme in individuals served has been feelings of brokenness that needs a safe place to heal. I have discovered that often times an individual’s brokenness stems from disunity within the mind, body, and spirit which ultimately impacts the entire being. This brokenness and need for healing can be a result of low self-esteem, experienced trauma, mental illness, women/men problems, financial, interpersonal, relational, and/or occupational concerns, etc. When someone is broken, it is difficult to operate in purpose and wholeness into our determined destiny. According to dictionary.com, wholeness is defined as “soundness, or wellbeing in body, mind, soul, or spirit: or the state or condition of being not broken, injured, or damaged: intact condition.” Could this be the reason why GOD states “The spirit of a man sustains him in sickness, but as for a broken spirit who can bear it?” (Proverbs 18:14).

As a licensed therapist, my desire is for everyone to achieve wholeness and purpose. I assist individuals through that process by utilizing evidenced based and clinical interventions. I also believe strongly that it is very important to apply the WORD OF GOD while aiding in the process of becoming whole. Thus, by utilizing holistic spiritual techniques such as prayer and the word of GOD ultimate wholeness can occur if you are willing to trust the process. Remember that is okay to say “OUCH, this hurts.” If you currently feel that you are in an OUCH season, I invite you to join me on a journey to “Sail into Wholeness,” because you deserve that kind of freedom!!
