Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
Ephesians 4:15-16 (ESV)
Biblical Counseling
While beautiful and joy-filled, the journey of life can also be challenging and hard. Grief, fear, anxiety, depression, loneliness, illness, temptations, brokenness in the world, our own sin, and the sins of others produce legitimate suffering and often painful circumstances. Without help, we may find ourselves stuck, lost, or unable to move forward.
Biblical counselors* have the privilege of meeting you where you are and walking alongside you, encouraging you to remain faithful to God who is always faithful to you. A biblical counselor is a compassionate guide ready to encourage and equip you through the Word of God as you find your ultimate hope in His steadfast love for you.
*Biblical counseling is a means of spiritual formation, caring for the embodied soul. It is not licensed mental health counseling.
Anne-Marie Fort, MA
Biblical Counselor
Through the grace of God, Anne-Marie Fort has experienced a deepening relationship with the Lord for over 30 years. After a decade working in local government and organizational consulting, God called Anne-Marie into vocational ministry. After 7 years on a local church staff, God led Anne-Marie to serve as a biblical counselor and to launch Deeply Rooted Ministries. She received her Master of Arts in Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary in 2025.
Anne-Marie's goal as a biblical counselor is to help people experience healing from deep pain, walk faithfully through suffering, and discover their unique place of service in the Body of Christ. She believes each person is made for a purpose and desires to help them become fully formed, spiritually mature worshipers of God; experiencing the joy of living a life fully surrendered to Him, trusting in His perfect protection and provision. Anne-Marie seeks to encourage individuals to lay off every sin that entangles so that they can live a life of faithful obedience, pursuing holiness and conformity to Christ.
Areas of Focus: Spiritual formation; general feelings of anxiousness, fear, depression; grief and suffering; bitterness and unforgiveness; work/life integration and burnout; relationships; knowing and trusting God.
