"Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken."

- Psalm 62: 5-6 NIV Bible

Our team understands the intersection of faith and hope.

Faith and spirituality are often deeply intertwined with who we are and how we view the world. It makes sense that you might want to include that in your therapy. So, how does that look?

It’s going to be guided by you and what you are comfortable with! Your therapist is going to help you explore and identify how you would like to integrate your faith into therapy. If you prefer to include things like prayer or using specific Bible verses, that’s something that your therapist can incorporate. If you’d like to exclude certain elements, your therapist will respect that and won’t pressure you to participate in anything that you are uncomfortable with.

Our team of experienced therapists is dedicated to helping individuals find healing and restoration. We offer a compassionate and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Our shared Christian faith provides a foundation for our work, enabling us to walk alongside you on your journey toward wholeness.”

Frequently asked questions

Spirituality

What we won’t do is just quote some Bible verse and send you on your way. Christian-based counseling is not pastoral guidance or biblical advice for life’s problems.

We’re here to help you work through deeper issues that require specific training and evidence-based interventions while recognizing how Christian beliefs and practices can impact your life and your healing.

We recognize that one’s faith tradition can also be a contributing factor to processing spirituality.

Topics our team provides a safe space to process might include understanding the impact of purity culture or rigid rules, uncovering what your values and morals are now, and identifying how your identity will shift or what possible fall-out might occur between family or friends if you decide to move away from a faith experience with which you have historically identified.
