Christian Counseling

Are you struggling to find your true path and calling? Are you looking for therapy that includes psychological and spiritual interventions? Do you wish for guidance from a trained professional who will understand and respect that your number one priority is building a relationship with God?

If so, you are definitely not alone. More and more of my clients are looking for faith-based counseling that can heal the mind and the soul. They want to be able to not only discuss the issues they are having but also openly discuss God, the Bible and their belief in the power of prayer.

And I am not the only counselor who has noticed that people prefer to seek guidance from those who support, rather than challenge, their faith. In fact, according to a nationwide survey by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC), 83% of Americans believe their spiritual faith and religious beliefs are closely tied to their state of mental and emotional health. Three-quarters have stated it’s important for them to work with a therapist who integrates their values and beliefs into the counseling process. And more respondents said they would prefer to see a religious counselor (29%) than a psychiatrist (27%), psychologist (17%) or family doctor (13%).

As a licensed counselor, I see people of all faiths and backgrounds and will never impose my personal beliefs onto my clients. However, for clients that identify as Christian, I am happy to incorporate that into your treatment as much or as little as you would like. I believe that faith can be an important aspect of the healing journey along with addressing emotional issues for those that identify in this way.

Please contact me if you have any questions about my experiences regarding faith-based counseling.
