Gina Birkemeier LPC

Gina Birkemeier is a licensed professional counselor with a master’s degree in psychology and theology from Covenant Theological Seminary and advanced training in trauma and techniques to help people heal. She’s also an author, and her recent book, Generations Deep: Unmasking Inherited Dysfunction and Trauma to Rewrite Our Stories Through Faith and Therapy (Publication Date: March 25, 2021), ranked No. 1 on Amazon’s New Releases in Christian Personal Growth and also ranked No. 35 on Amazon’s best sellers list overall. Gina speaks and teaches on topics related to shame, generational trauma and behavioral epigenetics. In early 2023, Generations Deep Story Groups were launched locally, nationally and internationally. Gina believes that the most beneficial coaching, counseling and overall approach to life is rooted in an understanding that our spiritual, physical, mental and emotional health are all inextricably connected. Her teaching and writing are underpinned with a combination of faith (a healthy relationship with God) and science (psychology, biology and epigenetics). As a survivor of a false narrative herself -- and the trauma and dysfunction that helped create it -- Gina’s goal is to shine a bright light on the idea that the story we tell ourselves the most is the one that becomes most true. Her passion to help others heal from past hurts, slay shame, break unhealthy cycles and find freedom led her to write her latest book, Generations Deep: Unmasking Inherited Dysfunction and Trauma to Rewrite Our Stories Through Faith and Therapy. Her previous books include: The Faithful Brain Ignited and Unconventional Self-Care: Healthfully Selfish Activities to Become More Effective in Your Daily Life and Relationships.
