Bible in Hand. Heart Surrendered. A Journey to Wholeness.
Meet Joelle
Christian Counselor

Hi, I’m Joelle Meristal - a pastor, wife, mom to two incredible teens, Christian counselor, and founder of Journey to Wholeness Christian Counseling. But above all, I’m a daughter of the King madly in love with Jesus, His Word, and His people. For over 25 years, I’ve served in ministry, walking with women through some of life’s most difficult and defining moments. I’ve also worked in the social work field for more than two decades, offering support, advocacy, and care to individuals and families across various settings.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Studies (Pennsylvania State University) and a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Counseling with a concentration in Marriage and Family Counseling (Liberty University). As a certified Christian counselor , a local co-pastor with my husband, and a sought-after conference speaker, I’ve had the privilege of encouraging and equipping women across the United States with biblical truth, emotional support, and spiritual direction.
But this calling isn’t just professional — it’s deeply personal.
It’s my story.
It’s my “why’.
Like many of the women I serve, I’ve walked through pain, depression, inadequacy, transition, and spiritual battles of my own. I understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed, performing publicly while suffering privately, or even unsure of where God is in the middle of it all. That’s why I answered the call to create Journey to Wholeness — a place where women can be heard, held, and healed through the power of Christ.
My Approach
My work is grounded in biblical truth, shaped by current counseling strategies, and offered with compassion, authenticity, and clarity. I use tools like cognitive behavioral therapy, temperament assessments, spiritual disciplines, and personalized Bible studies to help women heal emotionally, grow spiritually, and move toward lasting transformation.
Whether you’re walking through trauma, preparing for marriage, facing marital crisis, or just longing to feel whole again, I will walk with you — Bible in hand, heart surrendered — just like Naomi walked with Ruth.
