Sharmen Kimbrough opened her own coaching practice in 2012, specializing in helping women navigate divorce, standing for their marriage when their spouse will not, and healing from emotionally and spiritually destructive relationships.  Alongside maintaining her own practice, Sharmen also currently works with Dr. David Hawkins at the Marriage Recovery Center based in the Seattle, WA area, where they specialize in working with high-conflict couples and emotionally destructive relationships.  She has been an integral part of the MRC team since 2015 and has worked extensively to help men, women, and couples find practical ways to heal – individually or together – and live life much more intentionally.  

As a Relationship Coach, she works with individuals and couples who are trying to untangle the mess and impact of emotional and spiritual abuse on their lives, to heal from the trauma and learn to live well, love well and lead well.  While she strongly discourages couples counseling where conflict is high and abuse is rampant, she has a  unique capacity to stand in the gap for the victim while addressing the underlying, covert power-and-control issues should they insist on couples work.  She works hard to help the silenced and down-trodden find their voice and learn to speak it with dignity and strength.  She is a strong proponent of individual coaching first, as a chance to heal, find clarity and strengthen boundaries prior to trying to address the symptoms within the relationship. 

She also provides coaching for pastors, counselors, and other coaches who are seeking to hone their skills as innovative leaders within their respective environments.  She provides life coaching for young adults and college students who are struggling to find their sense of self and direction.  She focuses upon learning to walk out the story you do want your life to tell and finding the courage to show up, come out of hiding, and live authentically. 

The backbone of her work is built much more upon experience than book-learning. She has experienced a lifetime of learning how to navigate destructive behavior and emotional abuse, as well as divorce and single-parenting. The adversity of her own life has uniquely prepared her to speak wisdom into the lives of those around her.  If you would like, you can read more of her testimony here.

Linda has over 38 years of military experience and over 16 years working with women’s ministry. She has a passion for using her life lessons to encourage others about God’s faithfulness.  She lives with her husband Shane Smith, in Wisconsin.

We live in a world full of stressors – just watching the news can provoke anxiety! Sometimes in our lives we’ve experienced really difficult and traumatic things. Those things can leave a mark on our soul and sometimes our past doesn’t just stay in our past. Maybe you jump at sudden sounds, have nightmares, or aren’t able to get away from the feeling that something bad will happen. You push those feelings away and keep trying to move forward, but some part of you feels stuck. Tabitha Westbrook is a therapist who helps people who have messy, funky pasts (and sometimes messy, funky presents) live amazing, empowered lives today. 

Tabitha graduated with her BA in Psychology from NC Central University and her MA in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. Tabitha owns The Journey and The Process, a private practice with offices in Wake Forest, NC and Flower Mound, TX that specializes in complex trauma, with a focus on domestic abuse and coercive control. Tabitha is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in NC and TX, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in SD and TX, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in NC, and a Registered Telehealth Professional in Florida. Tabitha is an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, EMDRIA Certified Therapist, a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) Candidate, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). In addition to seeing her own clients, Tabitha oversees a team of therapists in her Wake Forest and Flower Mound offices. She also consults with churches on cases, as well as helping them craft written policies to properly care for victims of abuse. Tabitha is a coach, speaker, and author of the online course Taking Every Thought Captive, where she teaches practical, hands-on skills to help participants live in the present moment, survive any crisis, deal with all the feels, and work and play well with others. You can find Tabitha online at thejourneyandtheprocess.com or tabithawestbrook.com.

One little secret to leave you with, please don’t tell anyone; Renee only goes to the gym so she can eat cake, cookies, and chocolate 🙂

Through individual and group coaching, women are empowered to discover their value, purpose, and identity, be transformed by the renewing of their minds, break free from oppression, and find their wings.

A Little More About Her

Carolyn has a BA in Education and taught for several years as a teacher, which led to her to develop several art curriculums for a Christian School and Homeschool organization, at which she also taught art for many years.

I grew up with a very controlling and abusive dad and have done a lot of healing work in my own journey. In the last year and a half, I became a functional single mom as my ex-husband chose to leave the marriage for his own sex addiction. 

Through my journey of becoming a single mom I started my own business creating all natural products using essentials oils. 

I love creating products that can be both a blessing and all natural. I also love helping others find healing and hope through Jesus the restorer of our souls

Lori’s songwriting journey reflects her deepening relationship with God through the hardships of becoming a single mother. Many of her songs were born out of her wrestlings with suffering and joy– she has a unique vantage point that allows her to connect and empathize with her listeners and their own personal struggles. They can expect to be drawn into God’s presence and meditate on the many scriptures and prayers she puts to song–  finding space to connect with God, to worship Him, and to find peace and healing. 

Lori is excited to be releasing first single, “You Restore” which will eventually be one of many Psalms, scriptures, and prayers on her next project, which she is hoping to fund and complete in 2023. Lori and her 2 sons, Josiah and Ezekiel, reside in Raleigh, NC.

She is also the author of UNDONE: Hope for Healing from Childhood Sexual Abuse, a 12-week group intensive integrating biblical truths with evidence-based therapy. Sharon’s private practice, Hope Encounter Therapy, is guided by Isaiah 61. Isaiah 61:3 promises to “provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” She passionately holds onto hope that all may be restored to wholeness and have a future free of the negative impact of abuse. Sharon and her husband Mark are transplants from the northeast and now love calling North

Carolina home. She’s a proud mama to adult twins and grandma to 4 little boys. You may reach Sharon through her website www.sharonsheppard.com.

He has a Master of Divinity degree from Campbell University Divinity School, Buies Creek, NC where the Lord led him to focus on chaplaincy, and counseling. While completing his Clinical Pastoral Education requirements, Andre served as a chaplain for InterAct’s Domestic Violence Shelter in Raleigh.  Combined with his personal experiences, Andre’s interaction with the women and children in the domestic violence shelter solidified his desire to see more people and organizations willing to intervene and advocate for those in volatile relationships.

Andre served for six years on the CTPM and is now one of our Church Partnership Liaisons.  He and Karlene reside in Wake Forest, NC and are charter members of a Revival Hub called the Shepherd’s Well.

Practicing emotional awareness allows clients to move from feeling hopelessness and fear as they recognize inner strength through grace. We can learn new ways to navigate the negative impact of traumatic experiences as we learn to give space for emotions that were once not allowed.

I graduated from Liberty University with my BA in Psychology: Christian Counseling and my MA in Professional Counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in NC, and I currently serve clients at The Journey and the Process, a private practice in Wake Forest, NC that specializes in complex trauma and domestic abuse/coercive control.

The majority of Dan’s professional career has been focused on student and family ministry with his underlying passion being to strengthen families. He has done this through creating ministries for single moms, establishing family discipleship programs, and providing support for marriages and parents. He has found that guided adventure sports are particularly effective in building resiliency in young people and improving family communication. He has assisted families facing tragedies involving loss, special needs, and abandonment throughout his time in ministry.

Having witnessed the upheaval caused by domestic violence in families, Dan is particularly passionate about helping churches intervene effectively in these situations. He has been a keynote speaker, seminar presenter, and conference trainer in the US, India, and Czech Republic. Dan and his wife, Shannon, have five daughters, three sons-in-law, and one grandson. When not spending time chasing his grandson, Dan is searching for glassy water so he and his daughters can go barefoot water-skiing.

We creatively explore various emotions that oftentimes relate to childhood experiences and learn ways to give space for emotions to bring awareness to wounds that need healing. Practicing emotional awareness allows clients to move from feeling hopelessness and fear as they recognize inner strength through grace. We can learn new ways to navigate the negative impact of traumatic experiences as we learn to give space for emotions that were once not allowed.
