Christian Counseling FAQ
What is a Christian counselor?
Christian counselors can come from several backgrounds. Some are not licensed to practice therapy, but have biblical counseling degrees or are trained in inner healing prayer ministry. You can often find these types of counselors at churches or ministry centers, and they don’t bill your insurance. For example, the Duluth House of Refuge offers Sozo ministry.
Other Christian counselors (like me) have licenses that allow them to practice psychotherapy and bill insurance for it. When you work with a counselor like this, you receive science-based interventions (like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, or EMDR) from a counselor who also has a Biblical/Christian worldview.
Do I have to be a Christian to see you?
Nope. I have clients from many different backgrounds and of many different faiths.
Will you push your faith down my throat?
Not at all! I am here to help you clarify your own values and identify your own goals, not impose my values or goals on you.
Is this a safe place to process spiritual trauma?
I wish it didn’t exist, but spiritual trauma is alive and well. Many people find themselves in a spiritually abusive situation, and pain inflicted by those in spiritual authority can have far reaching and highly destructive effects. If this is you, I can be a resource to help you navigate the betrayal and sort out where the trauma has left your personal faith.
