For many, faith is the bedrock of life. It’s the source of strength, hope, and values. When facing emotional or mental health challenges, it’s only natural to seek guidance that honors that foundation, rather than ignores it. You may be asking yourself, "Can I find a therapist who truly understands my faith?" or "Do I have to choose between proven psychological help and my Christian values?"

​

At Journey Counseling Center, the answer is a confident "No." You don't have to check your faith at the door. We are proud to have licensed, professional therapists on our team who are also people of deep personal faith. They are uniquely equipped to provide Christian counseling that integrates clinical excellence with a compassionate, faith-informed worldview.​

Faith-Informed, Clinically Skilled: What to Expect

It’s important to understand that Christian counseling at Journey Counseling is more than just talking about faith. It is professional therapy delivered by state-licensed clinicians who also share a Christian worldview.

This means you get the best of both worlds:

• Clinical Excellence: Your therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques like CBT, EMDR, and other proven methods to help you address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues effectively.

• Spiritual Understanding: Your therapist respects the authority of Scripture and recognizes the importance of your spiritual life in your overall well-being. They won’t pathologize your beliefs or offer advice that contradicts your core values.

​

This approach provides a level of safety and trust that allows for deeper, more authentic healing.

Benefits of integrating faith and therapy

When your therapist shares your core worldview, it opens the door to a more holistic healing experience.

 

A Shared Foundation of Values

You won't have to spend your sessions explaining the meaning of grace, the importance of forgiveness, or the concept of a personal relationship with God. Your therapist "gets it." This shared foundation allows you to dive into the heart of your issues more quickly and feel truly seen and understood.
 

 

Incorporating Your Faith into Healing

Your faith can be a powerful resource. With your permission, your therapist can integrate spiritual practices into your sessions. This process is always client-led, ensuring you are comfortable every step of the way.
 

 

Navigating Spiritual and Emotional Challenges

Life is full of challenges that touch every part of our being, including our spirit. Christian counseling is an ideal space to explore issues like:

• Feelings of spiritual doubt or dryness

• Working through forgiveness for yourself or others

• Healing from church-related hurts or religious trauma

• Aligning your life with your values and purpose
   

 

A Safe Space for Your Whole Self

You are a whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Christian counseling honors every part of you. It's a confidential space where you can be honest about your struggles with anxiety, your marital conflicts, your grief, and your relationship with God, all at the same time.
