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.
Rooted in The Wonderful Counselor Method, this work 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 received tools for my journey — not only spiritually, but for life in general.”

Meet the Founder of The Wonderful Counselor
Hi, I’m Latisha — licensed trauma therapist, Catholic coach, author, and founder of The Wonderful Counselor.
For years, I was the strong, faith-filled woman others leaned on, but inside I was exhausted. I believed in God’s healing, but I did not yet know how to feel safe enough — emotionally or physically — to receive it deeply.
The Wonderful Counselor was created for women who love Jesus, but still carry the weight of trauma, anxiety, grief, or emotional disconnection.
This work is not centered on me. It is centered on Christ — Jesus as The Wonderful Counselor — and on helping women encounter Him with their whole selves: body, mind, and soul.
I am grateful to serve as the founder, guide, and steward of this work.
