What is Water the Heart?

Water the Heart is a wellness-centered practice offering counseling, coaching, and consulting services designed to support emotional healing, personal growth, and sustainable change.

At its core, Water the Heart recognizes that people do not struggle because they are broken; they struggle because they are depleted, overwhelmed, or unsupported. Healing begins when the heart is given the right care, the right tools, and the right environment to grow.

Services are trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to meet each individual where they are. Faith-based support is available and always optional.

How We Support You

Counseling- Professional mental health counseling focused on emotional health, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational challenges. Counseling provides clinical care, therapeutic intervention, and structured treatment support.

Coaching- Growth-focused support for individuals navigating identity development, boundaries, confidence, purpose, and life transitions. Coaching emphasizes insight, accountability, and forward movement rather than diagnosis or treatment.

Consulting- Education, training, and strategic support for churches, organizations, leaders, and community groups. Consulting focuses on emotional wellness, trauma-informed care, leadership development, and sustainable support systems.

Not sure which service is right for you? A consultation helps determine the best fit.
