Christian counseling is offered if you would like to integrate your spiritual beliefs into session.
Are you a woman whose anxiety, unmet expectations or comparison of others is causing you to feel emotionally drained? Do you struggle with disordered eating, body image issues or other behaviors that make you want to hide and isolate? Are you dealing with unresolved trauma, grief and loss, difficult life transitions or unhealthy boundaries that are causing problems in your relationships? Are you a friend, mother, or significant other who never feels good enough or appreciated so you react by shutting down, getting angry or becoming defensive? Is guilt and shame your "go to" emotions? If any of this sounds like you, I can help!

I am currently practicing in NY, PA and VA. I believe that therapy offers a unique and safe place to heal and grow. Walking through my clients' difficulties with them creates a space to promote healing and growth. I enjoy the challenge of supporting clients as they gain a sense of empowerment. I work with people from all faith backgrounds, and while I do not consider myself to be solely a " Christian counselor", my faith is a large part of my life and I invite clients to lead the role that faith plays in our work together. My work has included supporting people who experience anxiety, depression, poor relationships and life changes.

You do not need to be a Christian or a conservative/libertarian, however if you are you might have a hard time finding a therapist who understands and respects your worldview.
Hello! I am Chris Weidler. My counseling practice is founded on three pillars: Christian faith - clinical counseling skills - libertarian philosophy. My goal is to help you experience the abundant life that Jesus promises, but that often feels elusive. I believe that experiencing God's unconditional love, in an environment free from political and social coercion, combined with some discoveries from the field of psychology is a recipe for healing and flourishing. I enjoy working with individuals (over the age of 18) and couples throughout Pennsylvania who are seeking a Christian therapist who holds no judgement.

Every person has the ability to tap into their potential and recognize that they are a unique gift to the world. Many of my clients have not been aware that they can learn self-control, problem solving, courage, spiritual serenity, and find joy in life. They may be held back by internalized negative beliefs about themselves and others. We all need to be heard, validated, challenged, and supported as we take the next step. I love to help people find balance in their lives, and build healthy relationships. Depending on the needs of the client, I may use worksheets, visual aids, bibliotherapy, therapy games, play therapy techniques.

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.
