I can offer a Christian perspective.
The focus of therapy is to identify early life influences and learned behaviors that lead to problems. Behaviors include: anger, physical/emotional/sexual abuse. In addition, relationship conflict, anxiety/depression, moods, drug/alcohol/compulsive behaviors. The sub conscious mind is programed from infancy with positive & negative beliefs & destructive coping skills, programmed survival skills. We identify old habits/behaviors/poor coping strategies. We work to replace self destructive habits/behaviors with pro social behaviors. Anxiety & Depression are relieved.

You were not made to be alone in your struggles. Your mind and body want to heal; sometimes it just takes a little help along the way. Perhaps you find yourself feeling stuck in the same old pattern of unhelpful behaviors or replaying the endless cycle of negative thoughts in your mind. You feel desperate for change but don’t know where to even begin. When you feel overwhelmed with stress, sometimes it is so much easier to just push the pain away. But when the root of our pain remains buried in the past, it becomes more difficult to live a life of meaning and value.

I have been involved in this field since 2001 and especially enjoy working with families and loved ones of addicted and alcoholic persons. Sometimes our loved ones keep drinking and drugging no matter what we do, so we need to find new ways to deal with the situation (because this isn't working!). Let's get together, pinpoint the needs and find encouragement in a new mode of thinking!

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.
