Christian Author & Mental Health Advocate

Hey there,
I’m Felicia Joy

I share faith-based mental health support to help you find healing and hope from anxiety and depression.

Because I know what it’s like to love Jesus… but still feel anxious. To believe in God… but feel so sad that you can’t get out of bed. To want to be closer to him… but feel like maybe he’s forgotten you.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I still feel this way?” then you’re not alone. And if you’ve ever been met with “just pray more,” then I understand your frustration.

I didn’t always have this hope.

My struggle with anxiety and depression started when I was 16 years old. I prayed, I read my Bible, and I tried to push through the pain. But it didn’t help when people said, “give your anxiety to God” or “just pray and you’ll be healed!”

At 27 years old, I wanted to give up. My mental health had spiraled out of control. I couldn’t function on a day-to-day basis. I didn’t know how to trust God anymore.

I genuinely didn’t think I could survive this.

Healing came slowly.

Scared out of my mind, I quit my full-time job, paused my online ministry, and desperately sought out help.

It took an entire year of focusing on caring for my mind, body, and soul before I could function again.

This healing came through:
• Therapy sessions
• Antidepressants and mood stabilizers
• Learning healthy coping skills
• Processing past trauma
• Safe family and friends
• Caring for my body (rest, movement, nourishment)
• Replacing lies with truth
• Honest conversations with God

Not overnight. Not perfectly. But slowly, I began to heal.

Now I share the hope I have with you.

I still struggle with my mental health, but now I have hope that another day is another miracle. Hope that God doesn’t waste a single ounce of our pain. Hope that we’ve been given tools and safe people who can help us heal.

If you find yourself doubting, struggling to trust God, or battling anxiety and depression, you’re not alone.

You don’t need more Christian clichés; you need real support. That’s why I’m here—to help you find healing and hope from anxiety and depression.
