When Sorrow Is Not Depression: Rediscovering Biblical Perspectives on Emotional Pain

Support Life Anchor Center

At Life Anchor Center, we are committed to offering biblical counseling and discipleship to those in need—regardless of their financial circumstances. Because we are a private, faith-based practice that does not accept insurance and is not a licensed therapy provider, we rely on the generosity of clients and supporters to help cover essential costs like rent, materials, and reduced-rate sessions for individuals and families facing financial hardship.

When you give, you help us:

  • Keep our doors open and our services accessible

  • Offer sliding-scale fees for those in crisis or transition

  • Provide free resources and support groups rooted in Scripture

  • Maintain a safe, welcoming space for counseling and discipleship

Every gift, large or small, helps sustain this ministry and makes a direct impact in the lives of men, women, and families longing for biblical hope and healing.

Thank You

Your generosity helps us remain faithful to the calling God has given us—to walk alongside others with compassion, truth, and the hope of His Word.

"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart…for God loves a cheerful giver."
—2 Corinthians 9:7

Let’s Begin: Book Your First Biblical Consultation!

Start with a 40-Minute Biblical Counseling Consultation – $65

This is not therapy. This is not a feel-good chat. This is a biblical conversation to discern fit, direction, and readiness.

In this 40-minute consultation, we’ll get to know your current challenges, walk through your expectations, and explore whether Life Anchor Center is the right place for you to grow through biblical counseling.

This session is for those who are serious about change—rooted in the Word, not psychology or emotional trends. If you're ready to pursue lasting transformation through God’s truth, we invite you to take this first step.

Why Biblical Counseling?

Unlike traditional coaching, Biblical counseling is rooted in eternal truth. It doesn’t just focus on temporary fixes or worldly advice. Instead, we look to God’s Word to address the root of your pain, offering lasting healing through Christ.

Biblical Truth Over Self-Help: No vague mantras or empty affirmations, just the wisdom and healing power of scripture.

Christ-Centered Healing: At the heart of your journey is a relationship with Jesus, the true source of peace.

Compassionate Guidance: You’re not alone—I’ll walk with you through every step, helping you find hope and renewal in Christ.

  • “This path hasn’t been easy. I have visited moments in my life that have hurt a lot. I have done things I wouldn’t have done before, but God put Marisely in my life when I was ready to give up. Through Marsely’s guidance in the Word of God, I’m getting to know myself better. I’m understanding more and accepting that God's plan is perfect. My family and I serve a living, powerful, and merciful God, a vital God, who at the least expected moment puts people full of his power to bless your life and this is Marisely. She is a guide bringing me closer to my heavenly Father. I decided to take action on what was already lost in my eyes. I continue taking her sessions because there is still a long way to go, I have a lot to learn. And with the wisdom that God has given Marisely, I know that she will continue to help me see the glory of God in our lives.”

  • I was a broken woman with a broken heart, hurting and feeling like I was at a crossroads and blaming myself. I was told about a Bible-based life coaching program. I tried it and I can't even do her justice. The gift God has given Marisely is to help the hurting, broken, and lost or even someone who needs guidance in the correct, Biblically-based way. I'm not that hurt broken woman anymore! Marisely has helped me see past my hurt, get through my pain, and be more confident in my walk with Christ. Marisely is a jewel and you will only come out stronger and better than ever with her coaching!

  • “I had been secretly struggling with addictions for over a decade. I never felt like I would find my place in the church or that I would change. I longed for holiness and transformation, but I had no hope of recovering or idea of how to begin again. Marisely is supernaturally gifted to aid broken women. You can feel her passion and see her dedication in everything she does. Her level of compassion and the skill set she brings into coaching individuals with mental health issues, addictions, and biblical counsel is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. She is constantly growing and learning new things to help women like myself grow in knowing the truth of God’s word. I’m so grateful that God allowed me to find her when I did. Anchor Coach has meant so much more to me than just an ordinary “Christian support group” where I can get some encouragement. This organization has helped me and many others acquire the vital biblical tools and resources to develop our relationships with the Lord. I believe with all my heart that anyone who comes to this organization broken and in need will find the healing and restoration that only God can provide.”
