What Is The Wonderful Counselor?
The Wonderful Counselor® is a Catholic Christian healing and formation community for all women who love Jesus, but still feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally burdened, or disconnected from peace.
Here, emotional healing is not separated from faith. We honor the nervous system, the story you have carried, and your desire for deeper union with Christ.
Founded by licensed trauma therapist and Catholic integrative coach Latisha Sternod, The Wonderful Counselor blends clinical insight, somatic wisdom, and Catholic Christian formation to support women navigating:
- anxiety, emotional burnout, and identity confusion
- grief, spiritual dryness, or ministry wounds
- childhood trauma, relational stress, or vocational discernment
- the ache of knowing God’s peace is real, but struggling to feel it in your body and daily life
You were never meant to carry it all alone. And you don’t have to choose between healing and holiness.
Does This Sound Like You?
You’re not broken. You’re burdened. Let us help you lay it down at the feet of Christ.
-
You feel emotionally drained—even though you “should” be grateful
-
You trust God, but anxiety still lingers
-
You’re tired of holding everything together for everyone else
-
You want healing, but not if it means leaving your faith behind
-
You crave peace, connection, and safety—in your body and your soul
You Are in the Right Place If You’re Ready To:
-
Heal from trauma—without shame or spiritual bypassing
-
Rewire emotional patterns that keep you stuck
-
Feel safe in your body, your faith, and your relationships
-
Restore peace to your home, heart, and calling
-
Connect with Jesus—not just in belief, but in felt experience
-
Live and lead from wholeness—not burnout
“I have experienced freedom and healing in body, mind, and soul from trauma and shame that I had carried for years even with previous counseling. I’ve felt so safe and loved through the process of inner healing. My life is transforming because of the work Latisha does, her approaches, and how we invite the Lord to enter in and do the healing work. I’ve been given the tools to take care of myself and to continue experiencing healing and growth in my own prayer as well as relationship with God, myself, and others.” ~ Jennifer

Meet the Heart Behind The Wonderful Counselor
Hi, I’m Latisha. Licensed trauma therapist, Catholic coach, and founder of The Wonderful Counselor.
For years, I was the strong, faith-filled woman everyone leaned on—but inside, I was exhausted. I believed in God’s healing, but I didn’t feel safe enough—emotionally or physically—to receive it.
I created The Wonderful Counselor for women like us—who love Jesus, but still carry the weight of trauma, anxiety, or emotional disconnection.
Here, you don’t have to abandon your faith to heal. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Let’s walk toward wholeness, together.
—Latisha
