Christian Belief Therapy and Healing for Your Whole Self
You don't have to carry the weight of your past alone. At Unshackled Ministries, Leslie serves as your guide, drawing on years of training in trauma healing, energy psychology, prayer ministry, and biblical truth to walk alongside you. Every session is Holy Spirit-led, helping you uncover the roots of what's holding you back, replace false beliefs with God's truth, and move forward whole in spirit, soul, and body.
Maybe You're Struggling With...
You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out. If any of this sounds familiar, Belief Therapy may be exactly what you're looking for.
-
Carrying pain, guilt, or shame from your past that you can't quite let go of
-
Feeling stuck in the same negative patterns, fears, or triggers over and over
-
Wrestling with anxiety, sadness, or anger and not knowing where it's really coming from
-
Questioning what you believe about God, yourself, or your worth, and needing a safe place to work through it
-
Struggling in your marriage or relationships and longing for real connection again
-
Feeling disconnected from God, or unsure how to invite Him into your healing
-
Wanting to grow spiritually and emotionally, but not sure where to start
-
Tired of talking about the same issues without ever getting to the root of them
-
Doing a lot of healing work already, but still feeling stuck at the same trauma pattern
There is freedom on the other side. It starts with one conversation.
What Is Belief Therapy?
So much of how we see ourselves and the world took root early in life, shaped by our families, our experiences, and the people who raised and influenced us. Sometimes, without anyone meaning harm, we grow up carrying things that simply aren't true, and those quiet lies end up steering how we think, how we love, and how we live.
This is where Belief Therapy comes in. This type of therapy creates a warm, unhurried space to bring those negative beliefs into the light, look at them honestly, and hold them up against what God actually says about you. Leslie won't hand you a script or tell you what to believe. She'll sit with you, ask good questions, and let the Holy Spirit lead as you uncover the together.
And because healing was never meant to be just a mental exercise, every session begins and ends in prayer, inviting God into your spirit, your emotions, and your body, all of it.
How Faith Therapy Sessions Work
Every client and every story is different, so Belief Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Leslie draws from a range of training and techniques to meet your specific needs in each session, all under the umbrella of faith-based, Holy Spirit-led care. Rather than booking a separate appointment for each method, you'll simply come to a Christian Therapy session and Leslie will discern, with the Holy Spirit's leading, which approach (or combination of approaches) will serve you best that day.
What may be woven into your sessions:
-
Talk Therapy: Open, honest conversation in a safe, judgment-free space to process what you're carrying
-
Inner Healing & Inner Child Work: Gently revisiting and healing places from your past that still affect you today
-
Courts of Heaven Advocacy: A prayer-based practice rooted in the belief that many of our struggles have a spiritual dimension that can be addressed through prayer that appeals directly to God's justice and mercy
-
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR): A newer tool in Leslie's practice, used when you've already done real work around a trauma pattern but still feel stuck in it. DBR addresses the "shock" piece of trauma — the place where the body gets caught mid-response, keeping you looping back to the same triggers even after the story has been processed.
-
Gottman Method (for couples): A well-researched approach to strengthening communication, trust, and connection in marriage and relationships
-
EFT/TFT Techniques: Elements of Emotional Freedom Technique and Thought Field Therapy, used to help calm the body's stress response around specific memories or triggers
-
Virtual Listening Prayer: For those not local to Colorado Springs, a virtual session centered on prayer and listening for what God wants to reveal and heal
-
Virtual Belief Therapy: Full Belief Therapy sessions available remotely by video, so distance is never a barrier to healing
These aren't separate services you choose from a menu. They're simply tools Leslie brings into the room as your story calls for them, so you can spend your energy on healing, not on figuring out what to book. Sessions are available in person in Colorado Springs or virtually, wherever you are.
Meet Leslie Couch, a Christian Therapist
Long before Leslie founded Unshackled Ministries, she was on the other side of the table, doing her own healing work. On August 29th, 2016, she experienced her first Splankna session, and for the first time, her eyes were opened to the truth that healing was possible, she didn't have to simply live with her brokenness. Before she'd even attended training herself, God had already birthed Unshackled Ministries in her heart, and she trained in Splankna at the very first opportunity, in January 2017.
Up until that point, she'd lived believing all she could do was her best within her brokenness. Walking through her own traumas and finding real freedom on the other side became the calling that brought her here, and now she offers others the same comfortable, judgment-free space that changed her life.
Leslie isn't here to hand you answers from behind a desk. She comes alongside you, helps you recognize your own patterns and triggers, and gives you tools to keep growing between sessions, so the work continues long after you leave her office.

Outside of her work, Leslie is a wife, a mother of two daughters and two stepchildren, and a grandmother. She and her husband have been married since 2000, and they've called Colorado Springs home since 2009. Her own journey with faith and healing was never a straight line, and that's exactly why she leads with no judgment, no pressure, and no pretending, just an honest, open door for whoever walks through it.
What Clients Are Saying
Nothing means more than hearing, in someone's own words, what freedom has looked like for them. Here are a few of their stories.
Leslie is so calming. She listens to both her client and the Holy Spirit throughout the session. I learned a lot about what holds me back in life and we're working to release it. I feel free already. Leslie is honest and so caring about her clients. I would definitely recommend her and will be going back in the future!
