​MEET US @ JOURNEYS: 

ABOUT US:

​

Established in 1991, we believe good counseling begins with a professional who truly understands life and what living a life well is all about. It begins by recognizing life as the greatest gift we have ever been given. It roots is in the realization that life is not all about me, and has more to do with giving than receiving. 

 

In this journey, we believe that faith plays an essential role in our lives and that of our clients, no matter the specifics of what they believe. As Christian counselors, we believe faith guides us through the counseling process with each person. Please understand, however, that we work with people from all backgrounds, including religious and non-religious belief systems.​

 

While we do not seek to impose our beliefs upon others, we do recognize that our beliefs impact and shape our work with clients. Ultimately, it is our desire to see our clients living out balanced and healthy lives – emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Whether you are seeking individual, couples, marriage, teen, or family counseling, you will find that your counselor is sympathetic to the role faith plays in your life.

Martha, a founding partner of Journeys in 1991, is presently Executive Director of the Center. Prior to her work as a counselor she taught children with learning differences at the Winston School in Dallas. She works with individuals, couples, families, and groups. As a Christian counselor she ministers to God's wounded people by using her skills and training to the best of her ability. Some areas of training are: marriage and family therapy; play therapy; working with children, adolescents and adults who have Attention Deficit Disorder and/or learning differences; post-adoption counseling and support; abuse recovery; divorce recovery; grief recovery; 12 Step programs; post-traumatic stress recovery; mood disorders including depression, anxiety and bi-polar disorder; chronic illness - both mental and physical; and ministering to those who are dying. Martha has presented seminars on Healing the Family Tree; Forgiveness: The Art of Letting Go; and Building the Christian Community. She has developed an extensive premarital program that seeks to help couples develop a God-focused covenant relationship with realistic expectations about living the practical day-to-day work of marriage.No matter where people are on their Journey to health and wholeness - taking wobbly, fledging steps or striding with purpose - Martha believes we are all called, have mission, purpose, and a destiny Gods wants to us to fulfill.
