OUR CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION
Rooted in Christian faith, without assuming what you believe
Joshua Tree is a collective of Christian counselors in Tucson, but we do not assume that every client shares our faith. We welcome people from every background, including those who are unsure what they believe. In professional counseling, Christian faith, Scripture, or prayer are integrated only when requested. Clients seeking fully Christ-centered spiritual care may choose pastoral counseling.
THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
Joshua’s life shaped the heart and purpose of Joshua Tree
Joshua Tree Counseling is named for Rachel’s brother-in-law, Joshua, who was also Kelly’s husband. In July 2019, Joshua died by suicide after a long and largely unseen struggle with mental illness. He was friendly, curious, quick to help, and known for a laugh that could fill a room. Many people saw his warmth and energy; far fewer could see the pain he carried inside.
After his death, Rachel became determined to better understand the kind of suffering that can remain hidden even in people who are deeply loved. That search shaped her clinical focus on complex trauma, dissociation, and suicidality.
A tree was planted in Joshua’s honor at his memorial service. When Rachel founded the practice in 2021, the name felt right. It carries Joshua’s memory forward and reminds us to look beneath what is visible, take suffering seriously, and continue believing that healing is possible.
If you or someone you love is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal thoughts, call or text 988 or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
