Throughout life we all have struggles and experience situations beyond our control that can deeply affect us. During these times we can feel alone or uncomfortable opening up to others about our how we are truly feeling. Feelings of embarrassment or beliefs that something is wrong with yourself can prevent individuals from seeking help and support from others. I want you to know that you are not alone. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, recovering from trauma or other concerns, your distress is real and healing is possible.

Even present day situations can create feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. "What's the use?!" "I'll never get better!" "Why am I even here?" If those are some of your questions, give me a call. Let's talk it out together.

As a parent, imagine waking up every morning to the sound of your teenager's muffled sobs echoing from their room. You knock gently on the door, trying to offer support, but often met with silence or a dismissive "I'm fine.” Your heart aches with the weight of their pain, but you feel powerless to ease it. You watch as your once vibrant teen becomes increasingly withdrawn. They struggle to concentrate on schoolwork, appetite diminishes, and they have lost interest in activities they used to love. Every attempt is met with resistance or frustration, leaving you feeling helpless and unsure of what to do next.

Many clients seek therapy because they suffer from depression/anxiety that may be a product of low self-concept or feeling overwhelmed by life. They need to stop the negative thought patterns, end dependency on others to make them feel better, and using negative coping mechanisms as a means of temporary happiness. Negative coping mechanisms include addiction (substance use, shopping, sex, etc.). Their utmost goal may involve stopping those reactive behaviors that have ruined relationships, legal issues, suicidal thoughts, and a loss of self. They just want to interrupt the cycle of not being able to trust themselves.

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.
