Faith & Mental Health | Breaking Stigmas and Finding Strength through Healing and Therapy

In this powerful episode of And Such Is Life, host Jakyra McLeod, founder of Sessions of Hope, sits down with Sigourney Nelson — a licensed mental health counselor from New York and host of the Couch Therapy Podcast. Together, they have a heartfelt conversation on faith, mental health, and healing.

Sigourney opens up about her journey from battling self-esteem and anxiety to finding her calling in psychology. She shares how faith guided her through burnout and how God continues to use her work in mental health to help others discover their worth and peace in Him.

From working in a psych ward to managing life’s pressures, Sigourney reminds listeners that therapy and faith can coexist beautifully — and that “therapy isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom.”

✨ Key Scripture: Philippians 1:6 – “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”
