Throughout life’s journey we all face challenges that bring about uncertainty and frustration: Marital or Parenting issues; Relationship concerns; Depression; Anxiety; Work-life balance issues; Life transitions; Mental/emotional baggage. At times we face these difficulties alone, attempting to remain independent and strong. However, filtering through life alone can lead to burnout. Fortunately, we do not have to manage life’s pressures alone. There is a way that we can work through each concern, cope with our problems in a healthy way, and begin to feel lightweight and free as we continue life's journey.

My name is John Coleman Jr. I am a native of Statesboro, GA that moved to North Carolina in 2002. I played football while receiving my bachelor’s degree from Shaw University in Raleigh, NC. That’s where I met my beautiful wife. I am a man of God, husband, father, son and friend. I have 4 kids, 3 daughters, and 1 son. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and drag racing. I started working in the mental health field in my sophomore year in college (2003) with adults and children. My love and passion for others motivated me to get my masters in licensed professional counseling at Grand Canyon University.

Life can be challenging at times and healthy coping skills are vital to being able to navigate through life and manage daily issues and problems effectively.

Therapy doesn't have to be always a painful experience. If you want to achieve personal growth and healing, then it is time to call me for help. My ideal client is someone who is actively seeking to get healthy and willing to put in the effort necessary to try and accomplish it.

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.
