I am a Christian Counselling Therapist and I counsel from a Christian, Biblically-based platform. My specialty is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART is a fantastic therapy that helps people "Keep the Knowledge, Lose the Pain." My focus is to help people end the inner turmoil that holds them back from being all they were meant to be. Life can throw us curve balls and our perception can cause us to lose hope or become very anxious. Sometimes we are deeply affected because we grew up in an unstable environment, or from a lack of love. These things do not have to hold us prisoner for the rest of our lives.

Hope Changes Everything “Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean me first, it means me too.” L.R. Knost. Life can be beautiful, vibrant, expanding and joy filled.

Whole health is an intricate interweaving of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual parts within you, all having a dynamic impact on you. Bring your curiosity & willingness to explore your time of Uncertainties, Questioning & Life Transitions. It can be a rich and fertile time of hidden treasures unfolding.

I also have a faith background and can provide Christian counselling as an option.
I work with teens and adults who want to change their patterns of behaving and their responses to triggers. Their goals are to navigate hard seasons, heal through trauma, find relief from stress/burn-out, and foster healthier relationships. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety/panic, depression, managing hard emotions (like anger), perfectionism/the need to achieve, low self-worth, and codependency/boundary-setting. As a first generation Canadian Filipina, I often see BIPOC folks wanting a therapist who understands what it's like to navigate one's life with two cultural identities.

As a queer counselling therapist with a strong background in theology and evangelical Christian culture, I am uniquely able to offer empathy and understanding to those who are navigating the process of understanding and integrating their sexual and/or gender identity within the context of their Christian faith and family.
My name is Naomi Isaac (she/her), and I am a queer therapist who specializes in working with individuals who may be struggling to integrate queer and spiritual identities. Queer people from religious faith backgrounds (and their families) are often marginalized by both the queer community and their faith community, and may feel alone in the struggle they may have to understand their queerness in the context of their faith or religious upbringing. Having a therapist who is familiar with both worlds, who will respect all aspects of their identity, is crucial in working through these unique challenges in counselling.

Battered and bruised by life? Dragging yourself to work or constantly walking with a psychological limp? Wanting to accept what you can't change and access the courage to change what you can?

As a Therapist at Soul Care Christian Counselling and Consulting, it is my desire to hold space for you in the therapeutic relationship and that you feel heard, validated, affirmed and at times challenged all in a joint effort to get you where you want to be holistically.
Whether we believe it or not, our lived experiences have created a core belief about ourselves and influences a core language we use to describe ourselves, which prevents us from being our authentic self or the desire to change. Here's a truth, you have permission. You have the permission to change, to grow, to develop, to advocate for what you need, create new habits and, to unlearn and learn again. The beauty in the journey is you don’t have to do it alone and I’m here to journey with you.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognise an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
