Finding Hope, Healing, and Renewal — Even in the Fire
At Through the Fire Counseling, we believe that life’s hardest seasons don’t have to define you — they can refine you. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, we trust that God meets us in the flames, not to harm us, but to walk with us toward restoration and strength.
Our mission is to walk beside you through life’s challenges — helping you find peace, purpose, and resilience through compassionate, Christ-centered care.
Meet the Counselor
David Cunningham, Ed.S., LPC-MHSP
Navy Veteran | Clinical Mental Health Counselor | Faith-Based Practitioner
As the founder of Through the Fire Counseling, I bring both personal experience and professional training to the counseling room. My years in the U.S. Navy taught me about perseverance, purpose, and the importance of brotherhood. My later journey into counseling revealed the deep need for healing that integrates both mind and spirit.
I earned my Education Specialist (Ed.S.) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Middle Tennessee State University, where I was trained in evidence-based therapeutic practices. But more importantly, I believe true healing comes when clinical insight meets biblical truth.
I approach every client with empathy, accountability, and hope — creating a space where faith and mental health can coexist without compromise.
Our Approach
At Through the Fire Counseling, you’ll find:
- Faith-Integrated Counseling: Grounded in biblical truth and psychological wisdom.
- Evidence-Based Practice: Techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) combined with spiritual insight.
- Collaborative Partnership: You bring your story; together we work toward growth and freedom.
- Holistic Focus: Addressing the mind, body, and spirit for lasting transformation.
Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or relational struggles, we are committed to walking with you toward hope — one step at a time.
Why “Through the Fire”?
Because healing doesn’t happen apart from struggle — it happens within it.
Our name is inspired by the biblical story in Daniel 3, where three men stood firm in faith and discovered that even in the fire, they were not alone. That same truth applies today: no matter what you’re facing, God is present in the midst of it.
Our Mission
To offer compassionate, faith-driven counseling that restores hope, builds resilience, and honors the dignity and worth of every person.
