Care from the Heart of God
Finding the Strength to Heal Through Vulnerability
I took a whole lot of pills. I drank a whole lot of alcohol. I did a whole lot of drugs. And the intent was to die. I just thought the world would be better off without me. God had another plan.
I was introduced to Katallasso when I was going through a transitional time in my life. I credit the Lord for leading me to Katallasso because I was broken. I went to the clinic for counseling.
My mother taught me to be strong, not to complain, and to be independent. I was told to not show weakness. I spent a lot of time trying to keep a strong face because I didn’t want to seem weak.
“Here at this clinic, you will feel the love of God. The care you receive is covered with prayer.”
I found out that sometimes you must give in and surrender to help. I could not have made certain breakthroughs had it not been for the counseling I received at Katallasso. I came to realize that weakness is not asking for help.
I dropped my guard down and let someone in to help me and my son, and that was life changing. The counselor here at Katallasso encouraged me to be open. She said if I feel like I need to cry, then cry. I was encouraged that if I wanted to scream, to just scream. I needed to get it out and her encouragement was exactly what I needed.
If you need help, get it! If you know you cannot do it on your own, and if you’ve tried to do it on your own, get help. Talk about it, get it out, because it’s alright. If I had not received counseling, I do not think I would be here today. God picked up all my pieces and put me back together.
This facility, with its stained-glass windows, is like being in church. It’s very calming and peaceful at the clinic. There’s love here at Katallasso. Here at this clinic, you will feel the love of God. The care you receive is covered with prayer. The care you receive is from the heart of God.
If you need help with medical care or mental care or need someone to talk and pray with you without judgement, come to Katallasso.
