Christian Counseling in North Metro Atlanta

Frequently Asked Questions About Christian Counseling

Is Christian counseling right for me?

If your faith is important to you or if you’re exploring spiritual questions alongside emotional challenges, Christian counseling may be a good fit.

What makes Christian counseling different from regular therapy?

Christian counseling integrates professional, evidence-based mental health care with your faith.  While traditional therapy focuses solely on psychological health, Christian counseling allows spiritual reflection, prayer, and Biblical principles to be woven in.  This approach supports holistic healing for your mind, emotions, relationships, and spirit.

Do you incorporate prayer and Scripture during sessions?

Yes, if you would like. Faith-based elements are always optional and tailored to your comfort level.

Is Christian counseling evidence-based?

Yes. We use clinically proven therapies alongside optional spiritual integration to ensure effective, ethical care.

Can Christian counseling help with religious trauma?

Absolutely. We provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to process harmful or painful faith and church experiences.

Do I need to be a Christian to attend?

No. We welcome clients of all beliefs and never impose faith-based practices on our clients.

Is Christian counseling covered by insurance?

Coverage depends on your plan. Coverage is the same whether it is Christian counseling or traditional counseling.  We can help you check out-of-network benefits and discuss private-pay options.

Do you offer telehealth Christian counseling in Georgia?

Yes. We offer secure video sessions for clients across Georgia, including North Metro Atlanta areas like Suwanee, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Cumming. Telehealth provides the same professional quality and privacy as in-person appointments, allowing you to meet from the comfort of your home or office.

How does faith integration work during therapy sessions?

Some clients prefer occasional prayer or discussions on how Scripture speaks to their life circumstances.  Others prefer the focus on clinical skills alone, finding comfort in knowing that the therapist is operating from a Biblical world perspective as they integrate therapeutic techniques.  Your counselor will always check in about your comfort level to ensure the balance feels right for you, supporting emotional healing and spiritual renewal without pressure or judgment.

What’s the difference between Christian counseling and pastoral counseling?

Pastoral counseling is typically offered by clergy,  ministry staff, or pastoral counselors and focuses on spiritual guidance. Christian counseling, by contrast, is provided by licensed mental health professionals who integrate faith with evidence-based therapeutic techniques.  This means you receive therapeutic care that integrates both psychological skills and faith.

Does Christian counseling help with burnout or faith-related exhaustion?

Yes. Many clients seek counseling when they feel spiritually disconnected or emotionally drained from church, ministry, or life pressures. Our compassionate therapists help you process exhaustion, explore boundaries, and rediscover meaning and rest in both psychological and Biblical terms so that your restoration feels genuine and lasting.
