Embodied Christian Counseling
A safe place to find wholeness, connection, and embodied living.
Available through telehealth from the comfort of your home.
Does this sound familiar?
You want to feel more connected to yourself and your relationships, yet continually experience your past making its way into your day to day life.
You want to find safety and trust with your spouse, but it’s like you keep hitting the same cyclical pattern over and over again.
You struggle with sexual pain, grew up in purity culture, or feel so disconnected from your body physically and emotionally that you’re unsure how to embrace the wholeness of who you are in Christ.
Life doesn’t have to stay this way.
Hi, I’m Britni Hosick.
It is my greatest passion to walk alongside individuals and couples in the hardest seasons of their life, while holding onto the hope and love of Christ the entire way through. While now you may be clouded with fear, doubt, shame, and uncertainty, I’m here to walk alongside you, at your own unique pace, to find the transformation you never dreamed was possible; to heal from traumas that have haunted you for years and/or finally get to the root of the arguments with your spouse. I use experiential, attachment-based, and emotion focused modalities. My clients walk away from therapy feeling reconnected to themselves, their most intimate relationships, and their Savior. It would bring me no greater joy than to enter into your healing journey attuning to all parts of you: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Testimonials
"Throughout our time together, she has continually cared for me as a whole person, addressing my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. She has provided tangible resources (such as grounding techniques and worksheets/diagrams to work through my thoughts) to help with my anxiety throughout the years, but above all, she has continued to be a safe space since I met her. Britni's care is personable, warm, and genuine, and I have never felt like a project or just a client to her. Her professionalism, wisdom, and support have made a deep impact on my well-being and I'm grateful that we can have sessions online-- no matter where in the world I am!"-

“It was never my intention to seek out a Therapist. Nevertheless, it has been one of the best, most uplifting and stabilizing relationships I have been blessed to enjoy and participate in. Britni has helped me to not only learn more about myself, the impact of my upbringing and my patterns of decision-making and reactions, but more importantly, the value of regulating my heart and body, and then my mind, to best understand and equip me to respond to day-to-day occurrences with self-recognition, grace, patience, and peace.
The best part is that she does not "tell" me what I am thinking or feeling as I process through past, present or future situations, but she is curious and inquisitive and allows me through her compassionate and guided interest and inquiries to learn how to ask these prompting questions of myself, such as "How is your body responding right now? Do you notice your arm movements, your rapidly increasing heart rate, your elevation in tone of speech, the clutching of your chest"?
Her expertise and attentiveness prompts me to be more in tune with how certain events and circumstances can trigger specific, almost unconscious responses in my heart and body. She has helped teach me about how my sympathetic nervous system activates a fight or flight or freeze response, and yet, how I am able to engage my parasympathetic nervous system to restore my body to a state of calm and balance, promoting relaxation and recovery.
I have been able to heal and grow, to better understand myself and just as important, to not feel the guilt, shame or burden of my negative reactions to threatening or fearful situations, and find stability in these moments of continual growth! Thank you Britni for your dedication, your kindness, your attentive ear and incredible expertise in counseling. I appreciate you greatly!”

“Beginning to see Britni is without a doubt one of the best decisions I have made for myself regarding my mental health! Britni quickly learned the patterns in which I think allowing us to work through things together in a manner that is both comfortable and productive. As a Christian counselor she has also proven time and time again to meet me where I’m at regarding religion which has been one of the reasons I’ve continued to see her rather than going to any other therapist. I can genuinely say that I would recommend any and all of my loved ones to work with Britni as she has been pivotal to my health over these last 5 years!”

We have attended marriage counseling with Britni for 2 years. We were immediately drawn to Britni's professionalism, commitment to listening, and neutrality, which created a safe, trusted place for us to process and heal. Britni has guided us through hard conversations about past hurts, redirected unproductive discussions, challenged us to extend grace to ourselves and each other, prayed for us, and encouraged us to celebrate our progress. While our journey is not finished, we now look forward to the future we are building together.

Working with Britni has made a significant, positive impact on my healing journey and I highly recommend Britni to any individual or couple looking for a wise, compassionate, and skilled therapist to assist them on their journey as well”.
