About Living Free Counseling

Living Free Counseling is a practice that exists to bring holistic healing to individuals who call Roanoke and surrounding areas home. Living Free Counseling was born from the belief that all people have been made with a purpose for a purpose, and no matter the circumstances, all are capable of living with intentionality and hope. Sitting with people in their sacred, hard spaces is one of the greatest honors of my life.

Walking alongside our clients to boldly confront their past and present in order to live FREE in the future. More than a partnership, we are a family dedicated to helping you find true freedom from the hardships of this world.

What has now become my passion and the work I love, originally began from my own healing through pain, confusion and suffering. Knowing that God had more in store for me than tears and doubts, I began to see my journey as one that no longer revolved just around my personal wholeness but also those around me longing to experience healing and wholeness themselves. I know many have sat in similar rooms as mine and have walked out unaffected and discouraged. No matter your circumstance or experience, I am committed to walking and working with you through it all. The grace and love that were once shown me are my guide in walking with you. I believe things CAN CHANGE and vow to help you see that come true in your own journey. 

Nice to meet you. I’m Faylinn.

Hi there! I am Faylinn, and I have experience in working with teenagers and adults for over 7 years in a counseling setting. I am passionate about walking alongside people and connecting with them, as they search for healing, wholeness and hope. I believe that it is necessary to incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches so that each client can reach their personal goals.

My approach is one that is viewed from a trauma informed perspective, and creating a safe and supportive environment. Life can often feel overwhelming and I believe that healing is not only attainable but that each individual can live with freedom and be fulfilled. I do so by using an eclectic approach of various therapeutic methods, such as: Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.), CBT and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) trauma therapy, in order to give my clients the tools needed to heal from the past and live victoriously in the present. Together we will share your concerns, seek solutions, and celebrate progress on the way to healing. Upon request, I also provide Christian-Based, biblical counseling.

I was born in East Texas. My family and I have lived in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for 17 years. I was a teacher for 24 years before beginning this new journey in counseling and understand the challenges faced in the educational setting. I enjoy spending time with my husband, children and grandchildren, traveling and hiking. I believe that my life experiences and professional training have prepared me for living my dream of loving and serving people where they are.
