Caring and compassionate support for women processing betrayal trauma by a spouse. 

Unwanted Sexual Behaviors

Helping women find freedom from sexual addictions or unwanted sexual behaviors and experience release from binding shame.

Loss & Grief

A safe space to process loss and grief, drawing form my own experience with traumatic and suicide loss.

Women's Support Groups

Compassionate communities for women with similar life experience. Each group is led in a therapeutic way with the opportunity to learn and support each other.

Missionary Debriefing

Wise counsel from someone who has experienced major ministry transitions and re-entry after 20 years in the field. I use trusted models and experience to give you a personalized place to process your unique journey.

About Me...

My name is Mary Petersheim. As a wife and a mother of six, an Anabaptist woman who has served in missions, and a person who has received extensive counseling myself, I know the unique challenges you face—I've been helped tremendously and want the same for you.

​

Inspired by the nature of rivers to bring dynamic change and transformation of a landscape, and the strength and resilience of high ridges, I envision a healing journey where women can discover new spaces to open their hearts to change and strength. My prayer is that through joining with women in their stories, I can help them to see the strength found in acknowledging their wounds and pursuing hope for their future.
