Each person has their own right to his or her way of worship. As an ordained minister, I am understanding of all faiths and choices of religion, and will guide you towards a path to the divine in you.
It can be difficult to navigate through life and stay within the limits of your beliefs and commitments... it’s comforting to talk to an expert who can help lift you spiritually when you need it most.
Being a Christian psychologist myself, this is an area of support that can harmoniously intertwine both faith and mental health. The integration of faith alongside fallabilities and areas one wants to work on can vary greatly. We would work together to determine how this looks.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist in NC, Authorized PsyPact Practitioner in 40 states
Growing up in a Christian home, I found that I needed to run away from those beliefs for many years. That is what it took to open my eyes to a relationship with God that honors every part of my life and excites me to explore my faith with a demand that it supports my science as a psychologist and integrates the models and theories I use in my practice. If a client wants a focus on Christianity, I am happy to take that focus. If not, I do approach our work with the belief that every aspect of our lives can work together for our good.

Therapy is amazing, but if you are a Christian you also know the power of prayer and the usefulness of God's word in your life. Maybe you're even struggling in your relationship with God due to your mental health and would like to incorporate your spiritual life with your counseling. Either way, I enjoy helping clients do just this.
Life Coach, Health Coach Institute - Certified Life & Health Coach
Throughout the coaching process, I incorporate scriptural reflections and principles that are relevant to the challenges and opportunities my clients encounter enabling insights and perspectives from the Bible that can guide their decision-making and actions.
In practicing Christian life coaching, I am committed to supporting individuals in their journey of faith and helping them integrate their beliefs into all aspects of life.
We believe that God is love. God's love is toward everybody. What does that work out as? We have a passion to include everybody. That’s our first ethos. We’ll never impose this belief on you. We simply want to embody this kind of love.
We believe everyone is made in God’s image. We…thats all of us. We treat everyone equally respecting differences. No special parking places. We’ll never ever ever ever impose this belief on you. We will do our best to treat you with dignity in every moment.
We believe God is a relationship, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This looks like a commitment to a healthy open relationship. It’s WE. We are together in this. Good and bad. It means we need to get good at forgiving one another, good at listening to one another. We’ll never ever ever ever impose this belief on you. But we do seek to model this in the way we go about caring for people.
Death isn’t the end. We are people who believe in the resurrection of Jesus, which means that we have a deep sense of hope in every situation while we are each serving as change agents. This translates into the way we help individuals heal from trauma or couples work toward reconciliation to how we continue to hold onto hope for you even in the dimmest of circumstances.
A sense of perseverance. We believe, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". This means we are persevering with one another. We are called to be marathoners, not sprinters. There are no quick fixes. We are committed to building an enduring trust with the individuals, couples and families we serve. The healing path is one marked by willingness, patience, work and time.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC, MAPC
I have a MA in pastoral counseling from Liberty University. Being a Christian in these modern times demonstrates the importance of having a biblically informed worldview to address the life changes that people of faith face. I believe the bible is the word of God and is powerful in helping one overcome different issues. I also incorporate a holistic approach to touch on other key issues of the person.
Unfortunately, there is a huge disparity in the general faith of most therapists compared to the faith and beliefs of most individuals. I respect AND support the benefits of the Christian faith as a pillar of wholesome psychological healing.
Do you find yourself questioning your faith? Wondering whether your faith is strong enough or if God still sees and loves you? Please know that you're not alone. Depression, anxiety, and traumatic experiences can impact your thoughts, even your thoughts about God and who you are as a believer with these struggles. Too often, we see condemnation from the church about mental illness being related to lack of faith. However, several individuals who are revered by the church as saints (Mother Theresa is one example) have shared struggles in their faith and their tendency toward depression.
A significant portion of my training has included working with individuals with a Christian background (involved in volunteer and occupational Christian ministry, trained in Stephen Ministry, PREPARE/ENRICH, Hope Focused Couples Therapy, wrote a dissertation on the relationship between one's God-image and forgiveness, and served as a consultant to pastors on mental health issues).
Recently, I've become interested in helping others heal from religious trauma and spiritual abuse. Unfortunately, religion has sometimes been used to intimidate and exert power over others. This can happen from the pulpit or within personal relationships with others. In these situations, survivors can develop not only symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, but significant confusion surrounding their identity, their purpose, God's character, and their own standing with God. Please know that when we work together, I am sensitive to this possibility, and I will always follow your lead in discussing matters of faith. I will not attempt to lead you in one direction over the other, as you are capable of making your own decisions. I will, however, listen and support you as you navigate this often bumpy terrain.
Mental health concerns and negative religious experiences are nothing to be ashamed of, and only by acknowledging them within a safe space can there be true healing. Keep in mind that there is no problem too big to overcome. Even if the future looks bleak, remember that hope and healing are possible.
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
At LEAPS we approach Christian Counseling by first learning about client’s spiritual history, faith preferences, and commitments. We adopt a systematic protocol to gather relevant information about their Christian faith. A clinical spiritual assessment is conducted prior to the implementation of any prescribe treatment approach, thereby achieving consistently favorable solution-driven outcomes. For example, we use the FICA tool: faith, importance, community, and address protocol:
• Do you consider yourself a person of faith and how would you describe your faith tradition?
• What importance does your faith have in your life?
• Are you a member of a local church or faith community?
• How would you like me to address these spiritual matters?
Ultimately, our goal is to use Christian principles integrated with proven therapeutic approaches to help resolve your mental health challenges.
I was in ministry for 18 years, as well as, taught faith integration in therapy at multiple Christian Universities in Southern California. I walk with people in utilizing the strengths of their faith in order to help heal from whatever is causing difficulty for them
As a Christian, I can incorporate faith in our work together to the degree that you prefer. If you have a different belief system, I will respect this and not provide or discuss any Christian related resources.
Your spiritual beliefs now and the ones you were raised with, impact who you are today. I take your beliefs into account as needed because it is part of your thoughts, decisions, values, and much more. You can decide how much to bring into therapy.
Are you struggling? Sad? Distressed? Overwhelmed? Suffering or hurting in some way? But you know that God and the Bible has the answer to your questions but it seems like you can't find someone who understand the importance of the Bible and your faith in achieving the result you are looking for. You are not alone, I can help you overcome these challenges. It takes courage to reach out for help and you are brave for taking this courageous step.
As a Christian Counselor I utilize prayer, Biblical effective curriculum, personal and professional experience to help you
