Where Emotional Healing Meets the Compassion of God
A gentle, Scripture-rooted, DBT-informed space for believers and seekers navigating overwhelm, trauma, or emotional pain—without shame, pressure, or performance.
You don’t have to have the right words or the right faith to begin.
You deserve a place where your emotions are welcome, your story is honored, and your faith is treated as a relationship—tender, honest, and real. The Mind–Spirit Bible Practice™ helps you hold your faith and your feelings together with God.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
About the Practice

Your emotions are not a threat to your spirituality. Many people have been taught to ignore or suppress their emotions, but healing begins with honesty.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3

Learn About Support Options"I absolutely loved reading The Mind Spirit Bible Practice. I have been studying, practicing and teaching DBT since 2002 and Nicole Doña has put into elegant words the 'how to' of understanding DBT skills in a spiritual context. One does not need to be Christian to resonate with this work. In fact, I was raised Jewish and have a non-dualistic view of God and I felt completely comfortable and at home! Well done. I applaud Doña's mastery of DBT skills, understanding of scripture, and profound integration of the two. I believe Marsha Linehan, PhD [founder of DBT] would give Nicole Doña 10,000 gold stars!”
