Faith & Mental Health: A Balanced Journey
“It’s okay to love God and seek help.”
History
At just 16 years old, Dr. Rola made a life-changing decision — she chose to follow Christ.
Now, over 40 years later, she credits her faith for giving her strength, perseverance, and hope through life’s most difficult moments.
As both a clinician and a believer, she’s learned that faith and mental health don’t have to conflict — they can coexist beautifully.
“It’s okay to have faith in God and still seek treatment.”
“There is no shame in being Christian and struggling with mental health.”
Ordination & Ministry
Beyond her clinical expertise, Dr. Rola is also an ordained minister and serves as a Dean in ministry, actively involved in faith-based outreach programs, including work in Regina Port, New York.
Her ministry allows her to bridge the gap between faith and psychology — helping people experience healing of both mind and spirit.
Faith & Struggle
For many, faith becomes hardest to hold during seasons of struggle.
Dr. Rola believes that faith can be both a comfort and a catalyst — the force that pushes you forward when nothing else can.
Through counseling and ministry, she helps others understand that leaning on faith doesn’t mean ignoring pain; it means walking through it with hope.
“Faith didn’t remove my challenges — it gave me the courage to face them.”
— Dr. Rola
