About Adi
I’m Adi Puckett, founder of Root to Branches Coaching and Biblical Counseling. My work sits in that lovely gap between faith and practical psychology.Scripture gives us truth about God and His intentions for His Creation.
• Our Identities
• The realities of humanity
• Our relationships to others, ourselves, and God
• Wisdom
• Accurate transformationPsychology and behavioral health can help us observe and understand human function:
• How experiences shape our life patterns
• How belief influences behavior
• How our nervous systems can become dysregulated – and learn to feel safe again
• Why habits become lifestyles
• Why knowing better doesn’t always translate to doing betterThrough coaching and counseling we can acknowledge the past without taking permanent residence there. The goal is to understand the things that have taken root in the mind, separate truth from inaccuracies, and practice healthier ways of living.My approach is thoughtful, practical, honest, and individualized. While I take God and people very seriously, I also believe there is plenty of room for laughter while doing serious work. To me, you are a whole human being, not a problem to solve or a collection of symptoms to manage. I offer you room to think, ask difficult questions, examine your reality, gain helpful tools, and grow without your life being reduced to the hardest things that have ever happened to you – or the worst things you’ve ever done.I am an AACC and IBCC-Certified Master Mental Health Coach (MMHC) and AACC-Certified Biblical Counselor (BC) with additional certifications in women’s life coaching (MLCW), youth mental health coaching (YMHC), trauma-informed care and coaching, and cultural competency in mental health care.Ultimately, my work is rooted in one simple conviction: Knowing ourselves by design is secondary only to knowing God by faith. The better we understand who He has created us to be, the more clearly we can see and accept the truth of our lives, be good stewards of the lives we’ve been given, and participate in the ongoing work of Christ in our lives.
You do not have to have anything figured out before you begin.Learning and growing are best done as we go.Got Questions? I'd love to help.
Coaching or Counseling?
What's the difference?
Choose coaching if you need help turning passion into clear, workable action. Define your goals, identify obstacles, break larger goals into manageable steps, and develop discipline for follow-through. Ongoing accountability helps you measure progress, make adjustments as needed, and keep going.Mental health coaching can also address mild to moderate mental health symptoms but cannot replace clinical mental health treatment.
Choose counseling if you need a place to be heard, process difficult emotions and deep questions, and seek God’s wisdom during on your journey. Sessions may include prayer, Biblical application, discipleship, meditation, mindfulness practices, and practical guidance as we go.Biblical counseling is spiritual guidance and support; it does not provide mental health diagnosis, clinical treatment, or medication management.
