If you've been carrying something heavy and the person you most want to bring it to is God, but you're not sure how that fits inside a therapist's office, that question is worth taking seriously.
Olive Branch Family Therapy offers faith-integrated counseling in Denton, Texas for individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, marriage conflict, grief, and identity. Our clinicians hold licensure as LMFTs, LPCs, and LCSWs, and every therapist on our team is a person of faith. Sessions are available in person at our Denton office and online throughout Texas. We are private pay and out-of-network, with session rates from $95 to $150, and we can provide superbill documentation for plans that offer reimbursement.
You don't want to spend the first few sessions explaining why your relationship with God matters to you. You don't want to edit yourself to fit a room that treats faith as a complication.
Some people have been to counselors who were polite about their beliefs but kept them at arm's length. Others worry the opposite: that a Christian therapist will skip the clinical work and head straight to Scripture. What you're looking for is someone who holds both with equal seriousness.
That's the space Olive Branch Family Therapy was built for.
Faith can be a steady source of strength when life feels uncertain, and our approach to Christian counseling brings together clinical training and Biblical principles so your spiritual walk has room inside the work.
Some clients come in already knowing they want faith-based counseling, while others are still figuring out how much of a role they want their faith to play in the room. Both are welcome, and we follow your lead.
When faith is part of a session, it's because it's part of your story. Your values, your relationship with God, and the theological questions that surface in hard seasons aren't set aside. They're worked with directly, using clinical methods that are built on evidence.
A marriage that once felt grounded in shared faith has grown distant or fractured. The gap between who you wanted to be together and where you are now is hard to sit with.
Anxiety has taken up so much space that it's hard to pray without spiraling. You've started wondering quietly whether something is wrong with your faith rather than your nervous system.
Anxiety often runs underneath the spiritual questions clients bring in, including wondering whether worry means weak faith, and Christian counseling for anxiety gives space to work on both the nervous system and the theology at once.
A loss, a betrayal, or a season of change has left you feeling cut off from yourself and from God. A conflict with your teenager has exposed something older than the argument itself.
These are the things people actually bring into the room. None of them require you to have it together first.
Our work draws on Family Systems Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, and IFS. The methods used depend on what you're working through and who you're working with.
For individuals, that often means exploring the patterns underneath anxiety, depression, identity struggles, or grief, with your faith treated as part of who you are rather than a variable to set aside.
For couples, we help you get underneath the conflict to the disconnection driving it, using shared values as a foundation for restoration rather than just a standard to measure failure against. For couples specifically, Christian marriage counseling brings the same faith integration into work on communication, trust, and connection.
Some clients want their counselor to draw directly from Scripture in session, and Biblical counseling describes how that looks when faith is the explicit framework rather than a quiet undercurrent.
Olive Branch Family Therapy was founded in 2011 by Jill and Beau Davis, a married couple who set out to serve couples and families in the Denton area with both clinical depth and genuine faith. That foundation still shapes how the practice runs.
Jill Davis, Beau Davis, and Wade Bates are among our therapists whose training includes degrees from Abilene Christian and decades of work inside churches, crisis counseling settings, and marriage retreats.
Our team holds master's degrees and state licensure, and includes EMDR-certified clinicians, supervisors, and specialists in trauma, adolescents, and blended families. Eight clinicians work here, and new clients are matched based on what they're dealing with and who is the best fit.
Sessions happen at our office on Dallas Drive in Denton, minutes off I-35E. Sessions are also available remotely, and online Christian counseling is available anywhere in Texas for clients who can't make the drive or prefer the privacy of their own space.
New clients typically get scheduled within a week. When you reach out, our receptionist will talk with you about what's going on, help match you with the right therapist, and send you portal access to complete paperwork before your first appointment. Rates are $95 to $150 per session. We're out-of-network with insurance and can provide superbill documentation for plans that may reimburse. We also work with local churches and have third-party payer arrangements in place for congregations that want to help cover the cost of care.
No. Our team is made up of Christians and approaches the work from that foundation, but faith integration is entirely your choice. If you'd prefer to keep sessions focused on the clinical work without any spiritual component, that preference is respected without question.
No. When faith is part of a session, it's because it's part of your story. Our clinicians are trained therapists first. Biblical principles inform the relational and values-based framework, but sessions aren't structured around Scripture instruction or spiritual direction.
Come anyway. Our team has worked with infidelity, addiction, sexual concerns, trauma, and grief in all its complicated forms. The values this practice runs on include grace and compassion. You don't need to have it together before you walk in.
A pastor provides spiritual care and community. A therapist provides clinical care using structured, evidence-based methods in a confidential professional setting. The two can work alongside each other well. What we offer is trained clinical skill with faith woven in, not pastoral counseling in a different room.
You don't need to be in crisis to reach out, and you don't need to have everything figured out before your first session. When you're ready, you can reach out to schedule a first session and our receptionist will walk you through paperwork, matching, and what to expect before you arrive.
