# Tony Portell — I help ministry leaders address addiction, depression, and burnout without sending their congregation to secular counsel

Profile: https://www.everyexpert.com/tonyportell

## About

I've spent 40 years in rooms where people are struggling—as a pastor, fire department chaplain, and counselor—and I've learned what actually works when faith and healing intersect. I help church leaders and pastoral teams create pathways to recovery for people dealing with addiction, depression, and burnout, using faith-grounded, evidence-based methods that keep their care within their congregation.

Most people think faith and neuroscience are at odds, but they're not. I've seen pastors and ministry leaders miss the connection between spiritual wounds and mental health struggles—and I've also seen how integrating both creates lasting transformation. My work is built on what I've learned in real-world pastoral care: church leaders need practical tools, not referrals to secular counseling, and their congregations need to know their community can hold them through the hard parts.
