A soul-attuned, neuroscience-informed intervention.

I’m a Christian Counselor and Creator of The P.A.T.H. Model® for Trauma-Informed Healing

Hi, I’m Jack Gatti Hilton, DSW, LCSW

I’m a licensed clinical social worker, faith-based therapist, and the creator of The P.A.T.H. Model®—a framework designed to help clinicians and ministry leaders bring lasting healing through Presence, Alignment, Truth, and Healing. My life’s work centers on helping others integrate their faith with trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed care.I’ve spent decades walking with people through deep pain, spiritual questions, and complex mental health struggles. The P.A.T.H. Model® is the fruit of that journey—offering a practical, spirit-led map for transformation.

My Story

This work was born at the intersection of professional experience, personal calling, and spiritual surrender.I’ve served as a therapist and teacher in a wide range of settings—from private practice to ministry spaces—witnessing firsthand the ways unresolved trauma, disconnection, and shame can hold people back from fully living. Over time, I began noticing patterns—especially among fellow believers and caregivers—who felt stuck, misaligned, or burned out despite their faith.I knew there had to be a better way. Through prayer, study, and practice, I developed a model that brings together what we know from neuroscience with the deep wisdom of Scripture. That’s how The P.A.T.H. Model® came to life.

Why I Created The P.A.T.H. Model®

I created The P.A.T.H. Model® to equip and restore those who pour out for others.Therapists, pastors, and church leaders often carry unspoken wounds. Many were never taught how to stay present with pain—let alone their own. The P.A.T.H. Model® helps guide us back to presence with God, alignment with purpose, truth that frees, and healing that lasts.This model isn’t just for professionals. It’s for anyone who feels called to hold space for healing and wants a grounded, God-honoring way to do that well.

My Mission

My mission is simple:
To equip Christian therapists, ministry leaders, and spiritual caregivers with a model that integrates faith, psychology, and healing.

Through consultation, coaching, and training, I help others:

Whether you’re navigating burnout, leading a wounded congregation, or looking to deepen your clinical work—I’m here to walk the path with you.
