ABOUT THE THERAPIST

Casey Bain, MS, LPC

I specialize in working with adults who have experienced hurt or trauma related to faith, spirituality, or religion in the context of their family or church. While I enjoy working with clients through any topics related to deconstruction or religious trauma, some of the specialized areas I work with include the impacts of purity culture, healing your relationship with your body, LGBTQ+ identity, religious-based OCD, chronic pain, childhood hurt or trauma, and helping clients connect to their true identity and values.

Hi! I’m Casey & I’m so glad you’re here.

I know that navigating hurt and trauma can be a long and difficult process, and my hope is to be able to create a safe, compassionate space for you as we work together to understand what you’ve experienced, heal past hurt, and find a path forward where you can feel free to be yourself.

If you’ve experienced hurt or uncertainty in relation to your faith, church, or family environment, it can be especially confusing to know what voices to listen to, who to trust, and how to navigate the complexities of your experience. Because of this, we will go slowly and explore together to make sense of what healing really looks like for you.

In moving through that process, we may bring in parts work- noticing and healing parts of self, including your inner child; somatic work to help connect you more to your body and work on releasing stored stress and emotion; self-compassion and identity work; and connecting to other resources along the way.

  • Growing up in Evangelical Christianity, I experienced comfort and connection through my faith, but also experienced the harm of things like purity culture and the extreme pressure to be a certain way. I began going through my own deconstruction process, shedding parts of religion I began realizing were harmful and even causing trauma in people's lives. Through that process I have began learning how to become more fully myself, and to trust my body and intuition. That also led me on a journey to learn how I could support others going through a similar process.

    I started Unraveling Free in 2021, after months of dreaming about a practice that could be entirely focused on clients who had experienced the harmful impacts of evangelical and fundamentalist forms of Christianity. As it has grown, I have seen how powerful it can be for people to have a space where they are understood and seen, and able to move towards healing and freedom.

  • When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me drinking coffee while reading my newest book, or finding a new TV show to binge. I love routine, and creating rhythms for day-to-day life that help me connect to my own spirituality- like reading, being outside, moving my body, and spending time with the people I love. I also enjoy exploring the world through traveling to new places, going on long walks with my dog, Milo, doing yoga, paddleboarding, and doing home projects with my partner.

    “Learning what it can look like to move away from an unhealthy view of God is such a specific need that Casey is able to fill. She has personal knowledge, but also has professional resources and training, and I would recommend her to anyone- especially to those coming to terms with a post-evangelical worldview.” - C
