As a Christian, I am trained to include spiritual beliefs and principles into the therapeutic process while recognizing that it's not for everyone.
Relationships are such an important aspect of our everyday life. Whether it's a personal relationship or a professional relationship, navigating our own pain and self awareness while trying to build and maintain our relationships could be challenging. In addition to helping adults and teens in understanding and managing feelings and thoughts that impact how they relate to others, I specifically provide support for couples who are navigating through the pain and healing from an affair.

Have you ever had these thoughts? I don’t feel heard. I don’t feel seen. I am exhausted. I feel like I can’t take a break. I feel like everyone is relying on me. I’m just tired. Does these questions sound familiar? Perhaps, this is you. You've been holding multiple positions of mom, trusted friend, daughter, wife and sister. But, honestly, when do you have time for you? When do you get to take your cape off and just be you? Do you even recognize who are you when you look into the mirror? Or, have you been running on fumes and just don't have the time to even notice?

Through my personal experience and the experience of people I have worked with, I believe that we all have an "inner healer". Often we have lost touch with that resource and need guidance in reconnecting to our deepest resources.

Clients are given the space to tell their stories in an environment free of judgment or ridicule. Maintaining relationships and setting healthy boundaries can be challenging.

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.
