Welcome to Slavic Christian Therapy

It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself, and if you’re new here, welcome 

My name is Ilona Mikhalchuk

I’m a child of The King, a wife, mom of 2, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving my Slavic Christian community in 4 states through video sessions.

I started my career after a dream from the Lord in which He revealed a great need for soul healing in my community.

He gave the business name, “Cornerstone Therapy,” as a metaphor for helping souls discover that their foundation can lie only in Christ. When that is the case, their identity, purpose, and authority will thrive because He is at the center of all of them. I wanted to be obedient to the call, and He led me here. 

I graduated with my Master’s Degree in 2019 and opened my online practice during COVID in 2020.

Since then, I’ve served thousands of clients, including but not limited to Slavs, and discovered the deep sins and pain God was referring to.

Individuals sought healing for sexual trauma that took place by their “Christian” fathers or pastors. Wives were beaten and cheated on by their “Christian” spouses. Clients spoke of being cursed by their parents, which led to demonic oppression through spirits of rejection, addiction, sexual perversion, and suicide, manifesting as depression, low self-worth, anxiety, and even bipolar disorder. This was hapening is many spiritual and ethnic backgrounds alike. 

God opened my eyes to see how the community I once idolized and saw as superior was crumbling because He was no longer at its center.

As this was unfolding professionally, God led my husband and me out of the Slavic church and into an American one.

It was during that time that I started my own healing journey in therapy, and where I became rooted in my identity in Christ as His Child.

Sadly, as He keeps directing me on this journey, I realize the stigma and resistance that is still taking place regarding seeking professional support and speaking up about one’s pain.

Individuals have told me, “I’ll take my pain to the grave instead of telling someone about it for fear of what will happen to me (or the abuser) if anyone finds out….I don’t want my ____ to look bad by talking about how they hurt me….I thought God would punish me if I spoke up about the abuse….I thought I was a bad Christian for what I went through and that God was punishing me.”

My work with clients is confidential, but the fear of shining light onto the pain in one’s heart and mind still keeps thousands enslaved. Maybe you’re one of them, dear reader. If that’s the case, may you know that it’s not too late and that you’re not too far gone from the hope your soul is craving. I’ve been where you are: searching, hopeless, helpless, etc., and God found me and delivered me from the pit of hell I was i,n and now my life serves as a testimony to thousands of others that help is available and healing is possible if you’re willing to receive the help. 

Dear reader, if you or someone you love is hurting, please reach out for healing.

I’m here to serve you. Give me a call, send a text, or even an email to get started today.
