Counseling Women, by professor and counselor Kristin Kellen, is a biblically grounded resource addressing common struggles that women face. Chapters examine issues such as depression, anxiety, infertility, trauma, abuse, disordered eating, and much more. Undergirded by a strong theological foundation, Kellen interweaves many practices of mainstream therapy alongside Scripture's teachings to provide a wise and balanced approach. Accessible and deeply practical, Counseling Women will be useful for counselors in various settings and for students in training programs.
