“Above all else, guard your heart…”
Proverbs 4:23
You are not alone
Sometimes life becomes more than we know how to handle.
Maybe you wake up feeling anxious before your day even begins. Maybe you're struggling with depression, grieving a loss, or trying to move beyond painful experiences that continue to affect your life.
Perhaps your relationships are suffering, or you've developed unhealthy ways of coping because you simply don't know what else to do.
You might even find yourself wondering:
If any of this sounds familiar, I want you to know something.
You are not alone. And you don't have to stay where you are.
There is hope for a healthier, more peaceful future.
A healthier way forward
Imagine waking up without feeling overwhelmed by anxiety.
Imagine learning how to process painful memories without allowing them to control your life.
Imagine having healthier relationships, greater confidence, and a renewed sense of direction.
Imagine discovering practical ways to manage stress, work through difficult emotions, and experience greater peace in your everyday life.
And imagine growing in your relationship with God as you begin to recognize the purpose and value He has placed within you.
Healing doesn't mean your life will never be difficult again.
It means learning that your struggles don't have to define who you are or determine where your life goes next.
You were created for more than simply surviving.
Dawn’s story
Meet Dawn Browning, Founder of Renewed Heart Counseling
I wish I could tell you that my life has always been filled with peace and happiness. But that wouldn't be the truth.
I've experienced trauma, anxiety, and emotional struggles. In my younger years, I developed unhealthy coping patterns and struggled with addictions. More recently, overwhelming grief and loss led me into a season of depression.
I know what it's like to hurt. I know what it's like to feel stuck. And I know how difficult it can be to ask someone for help.
But I also know what it's like to find hope again.
There was a turning point in my life when I began seeing a Christian counselor. She helped me understand myself differently, develop healthier ways of coping, and discover a deeper relationship with God.
That experience changed my life.
Today, I consider myself a walking testimony of healing and restoration.
And that's why I started Renewed Heart Counseling.
I want others to have the opportunity to experience the hope, peace, and renewed purpose that changed my own life.
I don't believe you have to face your struggles alone. I would love the opportunity to walk beside you.
The care you deserve
At Renewed Heart Counseling, you don't have to pretend that everything is fine.
You don't have to have all the answers.
And you don't have to worry about being judged for what you've experienced or the decisions you've made.
My goal is to provide a welcoming, compassionate environment where you can openly share your struggles and begin working toward meaningful change.
Together, we'll explore what's happening in your life, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to help you move forward.
A safe, respectful environment where your experiences matter and your voice is heard.
Support tailored to your unique circumstances, challenges, values, and personal goals.
Learn healthier ways to manage anxiety, navigate difficult emotions, improve relationships, and respond to life's challenges.
For those who desire it, Christian faith and spiritual guidance can be integrated into your journey toward emotional well-being.
You don't have to figure everything out by yourself. We'll work together, one step at a time.

Why choose Dawn?
I'm Dawn Browning, an ordained pastor, pastoral counselor, and coach.
For seven years, I've helped people navigate difficult emotional experiences, relationship challenges, and seasons of personal change in the Lawrenceville and Winder, Georgia, communities.
My background includes seminary training, a bachelor's degree in Christian Counseling and Chaplaincy, master's-level coaching education through the American Association of Christian Counselors, and specialized training in teen and adult suicide prevention.
But beyond my training and experience, I bring something deeply personal to my work.
I understand what it's like to need someone who will listen, care, and help you find your way forward.
I started Renewed Heart Counseling because I believe everyone deserves compassionate support and the opportunity to experience a healthier, more meaningful life.
My desire is to help you recognize your strengths, nurture your emotional well-being, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a renewed sense of hope and peace.
Your free consultation
I understand that reaching out for counseling can feel intimidating.
You may have questions about the process, the cost, or whether counseling is right for you.
That's why I offer a free 15-minute consultation.
It's an opportunity for us to connect, talk about your needs, and explore whether working together would be a good fit.
How it works
Choose a convenient time for a free 15-minute conversation. You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
We'll discuss what you're experiencing, answer your questions, and explore how counseling or coaching may be helpful.
If we decide to work together, we'll develop a personalized approach based on your goals, needs, and circumstances.
One conversation can be the beginning of meaningful change.
A personal invitation
If there's one thing my own journey has taught me, it's that pain doesn't have to have the final word in our lives.
I've experienced difficult seasons. I've made mistakes. I've struggled with things I never imagined I would have to face.
But I've also experienced healing, peace, and renewed purpose.
And I believe you deserve the opportunity to pursue those things, too.
You were created for a purpose. Your life has value. And whatever you're facing today, you deserve to be heard, supported, and treated with compassion.
You don't have to have everything figured out before you ask for help.
You just have to be willing to take that first step.
I would love to walk beside you.
With care and compassion,
Dawn Browning
