THERAPY + CARE
Our Mission
Element Therapy + Care is an integrative, faith-based counseling center launching in September 2025. After seeing a need in the community for accessible, trauma-informed mental health care, Element Christian Church moved to provide a solution. We exist to come alongside the broken and hurting, offering a safe, compassionate space to all—regardless of background or beliefs. We believe there is a powerful intersection between the science of psychology—and what it reveals about human behavior—and the spiritual reality of our existence. While we are affiliated with Element Christian Church and profess belief in the historic Christian faith, our therapy is respectful of each client’s cultural/spiritual background and individually tailored to clients’ needs. Our session fees are intentionally set below market-level, and sliding scale is provided on a case-by-case basis.

Services
Our approach emphasizes the integration of evidence-based therapeutic techniques with respect for each client’s spiritual and cultural background. We create a safe space where healing can occur at both psychological and spiritual levels, and we continually aim to treat the whole person.
We provide therapy services for adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Our office, located on Element’s campus (4890 Bethany Ln in Orcutt), provides a comfortable, welcoming place for in-person sessions. Virtual sessions are also available through the Simple Practice platform.
