As the year winds down, many people sense that gentle nudge, "Something has to change". But knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming. Should you look for a therapist? A counselor? Does it matter? And what if your faith is part of your healing journey?

In this compassionate conversation, faith based therapist Eleanor Brown, LPC, and her co-host Isamary Nieves-Banks break down the real differences between a therapist and a counselor, how to choose the right support, and why asking for help takes courage not weakness. Isa brings honest questions from the layperson perspective, and Elly offers clear, grounded guidance as a therapist in Texas and Florida who integrates faith and emotional healing for those who want it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The simple difference between a therapist and a counselor
