Welcome to Fortify Christian Counseling

At Fortify Christian Counseling, we see beyond problems . . . we see people. People created in the image of God, walking through real challenges, carrying real stories, and showing real courage just by reaching out to us. We understand that asking for help is not easy, especially when life feels overwhelming or hope feels far away. From the moment you walk through our doors—or connect with us online—we want you to feel one thing: safe. Safe to breathe. Safe to be honest. Safe to not have all the answers. Safe to say, “I don’t know what to do next.”

We do not see you as a clinical file to be fixed—but as a soul to be cared for. Our mission is to walk alongside you as you discover the strength, clarity, and healing that God has already placed within you.

A Personalized Approach to Healing

Our licensed counselors are trained in a wide variety of clinically effective methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Creative Child Play, Animal-Assisted Therapy, and more. Our pastoral/biblical counselors are trained to share God’s Word in a gentle yet meaningful manner, utilizing trauma-informed approaches. Regardless of the approach to counseling, your care plan is always customized to meet your unique needs, challenges, and story.

Rooted in Scripture, Strengthened by Science

We believe that lasting change happens when biblical truth and clinical insight work together. Our team integrates Scripture, prayer, and evidence-based techniques to help you understand the deeper roots of what you’re facing. Whether you’re wrestling with anxiety, grief, relational struggles, trauma, or spiritual questions, we are here to support your healing and growth.

We also embrace passages like Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,” as reminders of God’s promises in hard seasons.

Faith-Informed, Client-Directed Care

At Fortify Christian Counseling, we believe true healing speaks to both mind and spirit. We incorporate proven, research-backed therapeutic methods, while also honoring the transformative power of biblical wisdom for those who seek it. This integrative approach allows practitioners to serve clients holistically, meeting the deepest needs of the individual with both clinical excellence and spiritual sensitivity.

In-Person and Virtual Care

We offer both in-person counseling in our welcoming offices on Valleydale Road in Hoover, Alabama (see location), and virtual sessions via our secure client portal. Whether you’re nearby or a few hours away, healing can begin wherever you are, no commute required.

All Ages and Stages

We work with individuals (ages 5 and up), couples, and families, tailoring support to each life stage and circumstance. Our clients include those navigating relationships, career stress, parenting, trauma, life transitions, spiritual questions, and more.

Insurance Options

We are now accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) insurance. For clients with other providers, we can provide a superbill so that you may file for out-of-network reimbursement on your own. We’re happy to help you understand your options.
