Is This You?

You might be thinking:

  • "I want a counselor who respects my faith."
  • "I've been struggling with my faith and want to talk about it."
  • "My church is important to me, but I need more support."
  • "I want to learn to love again: myself, my faith, my family."

You Decide the Role Faith Plays

For many of our clients, faith is part of how they cope, make decisions and find meaning. Leaving it out of counseling can feel like leaving out part of yourself.

You choose how much faith comes into sessions. Some clients want prayer or scripture in the conversation; others just want a counselor who understands their values.

What We Help With

  • Bringing your faith into counseling for depression, anxiety or trauma
  • Questions or struggles with faith
  • Marriage concerns with shared values
  • Grief and loss
  • Church or ministry stress

How We Work

  • Same clinical care

    Faith-based sessions use the same counseling approaches as any other session.

  • You set the level

    Your counselor follows your lead on how much faith to include.

  • No preaching

    We listen and support. We don't tell you what to believe.
