Why HeartLife?
How We Understand Your Story
HeartLife’s Creation–Fall–Redemption approach is a distinctive way of understanding each person within God’s bigger story of meaning and hope.
Creation
Creation affirms your God-given dignity, strengths, and purpose.
The Fall
The Fall helps us honestly understand both suffering and brokenness—without shame or reduction.
Redemption
Redemption points to real healing and change through grace, truth, and wise care.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, we provide thoughtful, compassionate counseling that integrates professional excellence with a Christ-centered understanding of the human heart and the whole person.
A Creation–Fall–Redemption View
We believe your life has a story that matters. Counseling is not just about fixing problems, it’s about understanding what’s good in you, what has been hurt or distorted, and what healing can look like moving forward.
This simple framework helps guide our work together.
1. Creation: You Were Made with Purpose
What this means:
You were created by God with dignity, value, and purpose. Your ability to think, feel, love, choose, and grow is part of how you were designed. Even when life feels broken, there is still good in you—strengths, longings, and capacities that matter.
In counseling, this means:
You are more than your struggles or symptoms
You are treated with respect, care, and dignity
We look for what is right in you, not only what is not working
A helpful question:
What parts of who I am still reflect the way I was meant to live?
2. Fall: Life in a Broken World
What this means:
We all live in a world that is broken by sin and suffering. Pain, loss, trauma, unhealthy choices (ours or others), and even physical or emotional illness can affect how we think, feel, and relate. Sometimes we are hurt by others. Sometimes we respond in ways we wish we hadn’t. Often, it’s a mixture of both.
In counseling, this means:
Your pain is taken seriously
We gently explore patterns that may be hurting you or others
Shame is not used as a tool for change
Grace is the centerpiece of healing
A helpful question:
Where has life gone off course, and how has that affected me?
3. Redemption: Healing and Hope Are Possible
What this means:
God is not finished with you. Through Jesus, healing, forgiveness, and change are possible—often slowly, and often with support. Counseling is one of the ways God can bring restoration—helping you grow, make sense of your story, and move toward healthier ways of living and relating.
In counseling, this means:
Change is possible, even if it takes time
You don’t have to walk alone
We focus on growth, not perfection
Hope is rooted in God’s care for you, not just your effort
A helpful question:
What might healing and growth look like in this season of my life?
