One-on-One Christian Coaching

Spiritual Direction & Christian Counseling

Sometimes the most meaningful spiritual growth happens in the presence of a trusted companion.

Our One-on-One Christian Coaching sessions offer a quiet, grace-filled space to explore your spiritual life, deepen your relationship with God, and gently work through the places where healing or clarity may be needed.

You will meet with Teresa Yerkes, founder of the Christian Meditation Center, a Christian meditation teacher, certified lay counselor, and spiritual companion who has spent nearly four decades walking with others on their spiritual journey.

Together, you will create space to listen for God’s presence in your life.

In these sessions you may discover

• A compassionate listener who holds space for your story
• Insightful questions that help bring deeper awareness
• Guidance in prayer, Christian meditation, and spiritual practices
• Support in navigating life transitions, grief, relationships, and spiritual growth
• Encouragement as you discern God’s movement in your life

This is not therapy and not a place for quick answers. Instead, it is a sacred conversation where we slow down, listen deeply, and allow the Spirit of God to gently lead the way.

A Personal Note from Teresa

For many years, people have come to me seeking guidance in their spiritual lives. Some are longing for a deeper relationship with God. Others are navigating grief, difficult decisions, or seasons of spiritual dryness.

What I have learned over time is that people rarely need someone to give them answers. What they often need most is a sacred space to slow down, be heard, and listen for God’s presence in their lives.

In these conversations, we gently explore what God may already be doing in your heart. Often the Holy Spirit is quietly guiding us, inviting healing, freedom, and deeper love.

It is a privilege for me to walk alongside others in this way. I have witnessed how God meets people in powerful and unexpected ways when we simply make room for Him.

If you feel even the smallest invitation to explore your spiritual life more deeply, I would be honored to walk with you for a season.

Is One-on-One Christian Coaching Right for You?

You may feel drawn to this type of conversation if you are:

• Longing for a deeper relationship with God
• Feeling spiritually stuck or unsure of your next step
• Seeking clarity during a life transition or important decision
• Carrying grief, pain, or questions you would like to bring into prayer
• Wanting to grow in Christian meditation or contemplative prayer
• Desiring a trusted spiritual companion to walk alongside you for a season
• Feeling a quiet inner nudge that God may be inviting you to something deeper

You do not need to have everything figured out before you come.

Often the journey simply begins with a willingness to pause, listen, and open your heart to God’s presence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between spiritual direction and counseling?

Spiritual direction focuses on helping you become more aware of God’s presence and movement in your life. While counseling often works to address specific emotional or psychological challenges, spiritual direction creates space to notice how God may be speaking, guiding, healing, and transforming you through your experiences.

In our sessions, we listen together for the gentle work of the Holy Spirit.

What kinds of things can I bring to a session?

People come with many different questions and experiences, such as:

• Feeling distant from God and longing for deeper connection
• Navigating a life transition, grief, or loss
• Discernment about an important decision
• Questions about prayer, faith, or spiritual practices
• Desire to deepen Christian meditation or contemplative prayer
• Healing from past experiences
• Simply wanting to grow closer to God

You are welcome to bring whatever is on your heart.

Do I need to be experienced in prayer or meditation?

Not at all. Some people who come have been walking with God for many years, while others are just beginning their spiritual journey. Wherever you are on the path, you are welcome here.

How often do we meet?

Many people begin with one session each month, though the rhythm can be adjusted depending on what feels most supportive for you.

Is there a fee?

There is no set fee. Donations to the Christian Meditation Center are welcomed in gratitude and help support our ministry and programs.
