Through the Fire Counseling in Tullahoma, Tennessee

“When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched.” – Isaiah 43:2

Life can feel overwhelming. Trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction, or painful experiences can affect your life long after the immediate crisis has passed.

At Through the Fire Counseling in Tullahoma, Tennessee, we provide professional therapy and clinical mental health counseling for people who want more than temporary relief.

Therapy may include practical skills for managing symptoms. However, it can also help you understand deeper patterns, process difficult experiences, improve relationships, and address long-standing concerns.

For clients who want faith to be part of therapy, we can thoughtfully integrate Christian beliefs into the treatment process.


David Cunningham, Ed.S., LPC-MHSP, NCC, founded and leads Through the Fire Counseling. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider designation and a U.S. Navy veteran.

Our approach combines compassionate care with professional clinical treatment. Above all, we believe therapy should respect your experiences, values, goals, and individual needs.

Meaningful change often requires more than advice or another coping strategy. Therefore, therapy may explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and patterns that affect how you think, feel, and respond.

  • Professional Therapy: Our treatment approach uses established clinical methods and evidence-based mental health practices.
  • Individualized Care: Each person brings different experiences, concerns, and goals. Therefore, we tailor therapy to your individual needs.
  • Deeper Therapeutic Work: Beyond symptom management, treatment can address trauma, recurring patterns, difficult relationships, and long-standing emotional concerns.
  • Faith-Integrated Therapy: When faith is part of your therapy goals, Christian beliefs, Scripture, prayer, and spiritual concerns can become part of treatment.
  • In-Person & Online Therapy: In-person appointments take place in Tullahoma. In addition, eligible clients in Tennessee, Ohio, and Georgia can access secure online counseling.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy gives you space to understand what you are experiencing and what may contribute to it.

Together, we may process emotions, examine recurring patterns, address painful experiences, develop healthier responses, and work toward meaningful change.

Marriage & Family Counseling

Relationship therapy can help couples and families identify unhealthy patterns, improve communication, repair connection, and better understand one another.

The goal goes beyond resolving individual disagreements. Instead, therapy can address the patterns underneath recurring conflict and relationship distress.

Trauma & PTSD Therapy

Trauma can affect your thoughts, emotions, relationships, behavior, and sense of safety.

During trauma therapy, we create a structured setting for understanding those effects and processing difficult experiences. In addition, evidence-based approaches may help reduce trauma-related symptoms and support long-term recovery.

Faith-Integrated Therapy

For clients who desire it, Christian faith can become an intentional part of therapy.

Depending on your goals, we may explore Scripture, prayer, spiritual beliefs, and questions of faith alongside evidence-based mental health treatment. Throughout that process, your values and preferences guide how we incorporate faith.

Accessible Counseling Options

We believe cost should not automatically prevent someone from seeking treatment. Therefore, we may offer reduced-fee or sliding-scale options based on eligibility and availability.


For many people, faith plays an important role in how they understand themselves, their experiences, and the healing process.

At Through the Fire Counseling, we can include Christian faith in therapy when a client wants it. However, faith integration does not replace clinical treatment.

Instead, spiritual beliefs and evidence-based mental health care can work together as part of a whole-person approach to therapy.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.” – Isaiah 43:2

Difficult experiences can shape us without having to define the rest of our lives.

Some people begin therapy because something has recently become overwhelming. Others seek treatment for concerns they have carried for years.

Either reason is valid.

At Through the Fire Counseling, we combine professional mental health treatment with compassionate, individualized care. Likewise, clients who want Christian faith included can make it part of the therapeutic process.

Our goal is not simply to help you get through the immediate problem. Instead, we want to help you understand what is happening and address what lies beneath it. From there, we can work toward meaningful and lasting change.

Life’s hardest seasons don’t have to define you. They can refine you.


You do not have to wait for things to become unbearable before beginning therapy.

Perhaps you need help with something happening right now. Alternatively, you may finally feel ready to address something you have carried for years. Either way, therapy can provide a place to begin.
