Christ-Centered, Clinically-Informed Counseling

Fortify Christian Counseling offers a compassionate and faith-based approach to therapy. We provide individuals with a safe and nurturing environment to explore and address emotional, relational, and spiritual challenges. Our dedicated team of counselors integrates biblical principles and values into proven therapeutic techniques to help clients find healing, growth, and restoration in their lives.

At Fortify, we never see a person as the problem. Instead, problems presented during counseling are viewed as symptoms of issues within the larger picture of each person's relationship with God, others, and creation.

Christian counseling is much more than simply sitting on a sofa and sharing your difficulties. Fortify offers solutions that transform lives by renewing the heart, mind, and soul (Rom 12:2).

About Us

Meet Our New Owner

Fortify Christian Counseling has some big news to share! Founding owner JC Threadcraft has refocused his counseling efforts toward the military and has transferred ownership of Fortify to Dr. Jerra Dooley. She was hired by JC in 2023 as a certified biblical counselor. Dooley is passionate about sharing God’s transforming grace with women and couples through Christ-centered counseling. With decades of experience in ministry and counseling, she is dedicated to “strengthening lives in Christ” at Fortify. 

Dooley was the founding director of Gracefull Ministries (2003-2023), and has served in counseling ministries under Dr. Lou Priolo (Valleydale Baptist Church) and Dr. Howard Eyrich (Briarwood Counseling Center) from 2015-2022. She brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to our team. 

We are currently growing and expanding our services to better serve individuals, couples, and groups, ages 16 and up. Sessions are available in-person and online in Hoover, Tuscaloosa, and throughout Alabama.

“The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.” 
– Billy Graham

At Fortify Christian Counseling, LLC, we stand by the principle that every human is fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of the Creator, and for a very distinct purpose, to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Nevertheless, the fulfilling of this divine purpose does not come without a unique set of challenges, all of which can fiercely test the heart, try the mind, and deeply trouble the soul. With this in mind, the broad goal of counseling at Fortify Christian Counseling, LLC is to help clients live out their unique purpose on earth, by strengthening the inner being (the spirit of man) and fortifying the soul for the glory of God. This occurs during the course of counseling by reconciling losses, restoring hope, embracing higher levels of self-control and self-discipline, and creating space for spiritual, mental and emotional growth.
