What is Christian Counseling?

Christian-based counseling is professional therapy that integrates faith, Scripture, and prayer with expert psychological techniques to support your mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual health. We are trained clinicians who are also committed followers of Christ. This enables us to address your mental and emotional health in a way that aligns with your values and strengthens your relationship with God.

Who Can Benefit from Christian Counseling?

If you’re searching for a safe space to understand your feelings and learn new ways of thinking, reconnect with God, and experience deep personal change, faith-based counseling may be right for you. We serve:

  • Individuals battling anxiety, depression or stress

  • Couples facing relationship conflict or communication issues

  • Children struggling with academic challenges or friendship problems 

  • Teens struggling with emotions or identity

  • Families facing conflict and seeking stronger connection

  • Parents who don’t know how to handle their teen who can’t focus and is failing academically

  • People with emotional wounds from past abuse, emotional neglect, or religious trauma

  • Those who are spiritually disconnected from God or having confusion about His plan for their life

Having faith doesn't take away life’s struggles. Many of our clients come to us feeling weighed down, weary, stuck, or unsure of where to turn next. We can help you move forward with support that honors your faith, guides you through life’s challenges, and reminds you that you're not alone in this journey.

What to Expect in Your First Session

Your first session is a chance to exhale and feel at ease. We’ll talk about what’s going on, what you’re hoping for, and what led you to seek counseling now.  

Together, we’ll begin to build a trusting relationship and explore your biggest concerns. We’ll create a plan that respects your faith and strengthens your emotional well-being.

Christ-centered counseling offers a safe and supportive space to wrestle with questions of faith, process emotional pain from past church experiences, and begin rebuilding your relationship with God.

  • If you’re facing a mental health challenge or a relationship struggle and your faith is an important part of your life, Christian counseling may be a good fit. It offers clinical care that combines professional therapy with a faith-focused approach.

  • Yes, if you would like. We tailor your counseling experience to align with your personal faith preferences. Some clients appreciate encouragement based on Scripture and prayer, while others prefer a subtler integration of Christian principles.

  • Christ-centered counseling includes prayer, Scripture, and a faith-based approach. While regular therapy focuses on mental and emotional health, Christian counseling also includes spiritual guidance based on God’s Word. We might use journaling, breath prayers, breathing and gratitude exercises in addition to evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP).

  • No, we welcome individuals of all faith backgrounds (or no faith at all). While our therapists are Christians and are trained to incorporate a Christian perspective in counseling, we respect and honor the beliefs of all our clientele and don’t impose our faith on clients.

  • It depends on your plan. We can check your out-of-network benefits and let you know what is covered. If not, we also offer private-pay options.
