Hi, I’m Zakk
I help people enjoy life again and finally thrive.
Dr. Zakk Gammon offers Christian Counseling for people in nationwide via Online counseling.
I believe counseling should be a place where you can be completely honest.
Reaching out to a counselor can feel a little strange. You’re essentially scheduling an appointment with somebody you’ve never met and agreeing to talk about parts of your life you may not talk about with many people.
I don’t take that lightly.
My goal is to create a place where you can show up as you are. You don’t need to impress me. You don’t need to have everything figured out. And you definitely don’t need to know the right “counseling” words to describe what you’re going through.
We’ll start with a conversation. I’ll listen. I’ll ask questions. I’ll get to know you and your story. And together, we’ll begin figuring out what moving forward can look like.
MY APPROACH
What counseling with me is like
If you’re imagining lying on a couch while I take notes and occasionally ask, “And how does that make you feel?”, that’s not what you’ll experience.
Of course, I want to understand how you feel. But I also want to understand why you feel that way, what’s happening beneath the surface, what patterns keep showing up in your life, what you’ve already tried, and what might actually help.
That means I’ll do more than listen.
I’ll ask questions. I’ll offer perspective. We’ll talk about practical tools and strategies. Sometimes we’ll slow down and spend time sitting with something difficult. And sometimes we may laugh, because counseling doesn’t have to feel heavy every minute just because we’re talking about serious things.
Most importantly, you can be honest.
You don’t have to clean up your story before you tell it.
Your faith is welcome here.
Christian Counseling is what I do, but I think it’s important to understand what I mean by that.
I don’t believe every emotional struggle can be solved by quoting a Bible verse. I don’t believe having anxiety means you don’t trust God enough. I don’t believe depression means your faith is weak. I don’t believe grief needs to be rushed because Christians have hope.
And I don’t believe struggling with something means you’ve failed spiritually.
Faith is an incredibly important part of healing, but meaningful Christian Counseling has to be willing to engage honestly with the complicated parts of life too.
So there is room here for Scripture, prayer, and conversations about God.
There’s also room for doubt. And questions. Anger. Disappointment. Church hurt. Confusion. And those seasons of life when you know all the “right” answers but still don’t feel okay.
You don’t have to pretend with God here either.
Why I Became a Counselor
I’ve spent much of my life walking alongside people during difficult seasons. What I’ve learned is that people rarely need another person standing at a distance telling them what they should’ve done differently.
They need somebody willing to sit with them in the middle of what they’re going through. Somebody who will listen without being shocked by their story. Somebody who can help them see things they may have difficulty seeing themselves. Somebody who believes that where they are today doesn’t have to determine where they’ll always be.
That belief is at the heart of Revive Christian Counseling. I believe hope is possible, even when life looks very different than you thought it would.
Sometimes finding that hope begins with having somewhere safe to finally say out loud what’s really going on.
