Using Christian-based therapy, you’ll gain the tools to challenge your thinking and develop new coping strategies.
It’s the middle of the night, and you glance at the clock. You have to be up for work in a few hours and haven’t slept a bit. Your thoughts are racing, your heart pounding, the tightness in your chest makes it hard to breathe. You’re caught in an anxiety spiral again and don’t know how to get out. In the past, you’ve always found strength in Jesus. But lately, it’s hard to reach him through this cloud of dread. The shame of being a “bad Christian” only compounds your fear. You want desperately to reach out for help, but you’re terrified no one will understand. Or worse, that they will judge you for it. Something needs to change.

During life’s difficulties, we often feel unheard and alone. Aloneness can be enough to overwhelm. Add in relationship conflicts, parenting struggles, and work issues. More so, a significant life event like a death or divorce. Where can you turn for support? We all can find ourselves needing care and comfort. Beginning the first time we meet; you will be heard. Better yet, my goal is for you to feel heard. My experience is the aloneness will start to subside knowing you have someone to walk alongside you. I say alongside because you are the expert of your life and I believe you will guide us in the direction we should go.

Christian Therapists

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 recognize 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.
