What’s in a Name?
Holy Curious is a posture of heart, a way of Spirit-filled living that presumes God is for us and, even more so, is for His glory. Being on mission with Him, even in the dark night of the soul, we are certain that morning will break through.
Those who are in vocational ministry have found a place of nourishment here, both for individual and couples’ counseling, as well as consultations regarding more difficult shepherding situations within their community.
Individuals from throughout the community are welcome; this practice is not only for those in ministry.
Our clients have included individuals from all walks of life, inside and outside the Christian faith, who are seeking a holistic counseling approach which encourages healing and living life to the fullest.
Strongly influenced and sharpened by the Christian Counseling Educational Foundation, CCEF, our work and many of our colleagues align with these values and CCEF’s excellent precepts.
Whatever it is, we can talk it through and find a way forward.

Vocationally or educationally, you and/or your spouse may enjoy much success. In your personal relationship or with other loved ones, neurodiversity can present as a challenge, rather than a difference to be understood and enjoyed. Let’s do some work together.

Vocationally or educationally, you may enjoy much success. In your personal relationships, neurodiversity can present many challenges. Rather than a difference to be understood and enjoyed, it can seem like it is a deal breaker. Let’s do some work together.
-
Those caring for others can sometimes lose their way. Overwhelm, exhaustion, confusion and even a desire to escape can be common. Let’s talk.
-
Too often, individuals who minister to others lack places where someone can draw them out and speak truth in love. This could be your place.
-
You may need a fresh perspective, a person to help you test and sharpen ideas, an experienced counselor with whom to process ideas personally or a strategic planner for the next phase of development in your organization. We bring a cache of knowledge and an artistic soul to this craft. Biblical in foundation and current in our ideation, this practice has been a source of nourishment to many.

What People Are Saying
“Wendy’s warmth and ability to connect genuinely, her good humor and keen intelligence, enable her to apply insights and wisdom gained through years of experience in navigating the dynamics of ministry teams and non-profit systems. As a mentor, counselor, and spiritual director Wendy is imaginative, tender, direct, and intuitive. I highly recommend Wendy: an articulate communicator whose poise and calm grace is expressed in tenacity for others.”
Stephen Baldwin — executive director, Provisions Group, Inc.
“I have seen Wendy handle the most challenging and trying situation with poise and respect. When Wendy represents me in the field I am confident of the outcome.
“In our work, things change rapidly, and when Wendy is on an assignment for me I know that as situations evolve she will be flexible and will adjust to whatever is needed. I trust her judgment and wisdom in ever-changing circumstances.”
Beverly Bradstock — executive coach and senior partner at Associates for Professional Development
“Pastors and ministry leaders are among the loneliest people in Christian community. Opportunities to honestly explore their own souls and wrestle with hard personal questions are rare. Without hesitation, I warmly support Wendy Browne as someone uniquely gifted to offer such an opportunity. She relates with compassion, wisdom and a sense of calling that God can use to strengthen others’ souls.”
Larry Crabb - Christian counselor, psychologist, author, Bible teacher, spiritual director and speaker.
We look forward to seeing you again in glory!
“We at Hope Church have been so pleased and encouraged to partner with Holy Curious, as we strive to guide the members of our church who are seeking peace for their mental health or relationships. The combination of professionalism, clear communication, and gospel-centered counseling has given us so much confidence to refer a wide range of people and know they’ll receive excellent care.”
Ethan Smith - Pastor for Congregational Life
Hope Presbyterian Church, Winston-Salem
“The difference with other therapists was stark and obvious from the first meeting. Wendy opened and closed with prayer. Those prayers were not just formalities. We witnessed a woman who really seemed to be close to her heavenly Father, who prayed with real expectations for answers.
Wendy does not minimize the physical, mental and emotional elements of our problems. However, her emphasis is on how our fallenness has affected our relationship with God. Quite frequently, as we share our problems, she challenges us to look for the “sin behind the sin” – to see what or who we are placing above God for our identity and purpose. Wendy does not use the Bible as merely a book of wisdom and helpful hints for our life’s journey. Rather, she shows us the “big picture” of our fallenness and all the specific areas of life it affects, as well as the willingness of the Father to embrace us as his redeemed children. She creates a safe space for repentance.
We have also recently begun seeing other associates individually while keeping a relationship with Wendy for marital counsel. I have been working with Kirk Blankenship. While Wendy initially recommended him because of his experience in addiction counseling, Kirk has instead prioritized my spiritual health – giving me concrete counsel to develop what has been a rather poor prayer life. This is just an example of an approach that most therapists would not embrace. Kirk leads me to one of the root problems that keeps me from experiencing the freedom that I have in Christ.”
