Impulsive behaviors like binge eating, compulsive spending, pornography use, and gambling are often hidden struggles in the Christian community. They carry heavy emotional weight: guilt, shame, secrecy, and a nagging sense of failure.

In my years of working in both ministry and mental health, I’ve seen a painful truth far too often: many Christians feel stuck in silence when it comes to their mental health.

Trauma, whether physical, emotional, or psychological, leaves lasting marks on the mind and spirit. As a Christian psychiatric provider offering biblically-based integrative psychiatry services at Transformed Psychiatric Wellness, I believe that true healing encompasses not only medical and psychological interventions but also spiritual restoration.

Finding a psychiatrist who honors your faith while supporting your mental health shouldn’t feel like a compromise. For many believers, the struggle isn’t just about finding help—it’s about finding someone who understands that your relationship with God is not separate from your healing journey, but central to it.

Anxiety is not a stranger to the Christian walk. Many of us know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, restless, or afraid—even while clinging to our faith.
