Faith Based Counseling
Ready for Therapy—And Wanting Your Faith to Be Part of the Process?
Maybe you’ve been leaning on your faith to get through a difficult season—reading scripture, praying, going to church—but something still feels off. You might be wrestling with anxiety, grief, burnout, or inner conflict that seems to persist, even with a strong spiritual foundation.
You might wonder, Shouldn’t my faith be enough? Am I doing something wrong?
But spiritual strength doesn't mean you're immune to emotional pain. In fact, many people of faith find themselves navigating seasons where God feels silent, joy feels out of reach, and hope feels like something they're constantly chasing.
Therapy doesn't replace faith—it can support it.
In faith-based counseling, you don’t have to choose between your emotional health and your spiritual life. You can bring all of you—your beliefs, your doubts, your questions, and your story—into a space of healing.

Struggling Doesn’t Make You Any Less Faithful
Being a person of faith doesn’t mean life is always light and easy.
Many people assume that having a relationship with God should protect them from things like depression, anxiety, or deep emotional pain. But the truth is, Scripture is filled with stories of people who cried out in confusion, wrestled with fear, doubted, questioned, and grieved.
Struggles with mental health are not a sign of weak faith—they’re part of the human experience.
In fact, more and more people within faith communities are realizing that therapy and spirituality can go hand in hand. Recent studies show that integrating faith and mental health care can lead to deeper, more lasting healing [¹].
You’re not alone if you’ve ever thought:
“If I just prayed more, maybe I wouldn’t feel this way.”
“I’m ashamed to tell anyone at church how I really feel.”
“I believe God is good, but I still feel stuck in pain.”
There is no shame in needing help. In fact, seeking support can be an act of courage and faith.
Faith-Based Therapy Creates Space for Both Healing and Belief
You can be spiritually grounded and still need emotional support. That’s where faith-based counseling comes in.
In our work together, your values, beliefs, and relationship with God are welcomed—not pushed aside. Whether your faith is central to your identity or something you're rediscovering, this is a space where we can explore your emotional struggles and spiritual questions together.
What Makes Faith-Based Counseling Different?
It’s not just therapy with a Bible verse tacked on. It’s a deeply respectful, integrative approach where your spiritual life is part of your healing journey—not separate from it.
Some ways this might look in our work together:
Reflecting on how your faith intersects with your thoughts, habits, or identity
Exploring questions of purpose, calling, or suffering in a safe, nonjudgmental space
Holding space for doubt without fear of being “unfaithful”
Incorporating prayer, scripture, or spiritual practices (only if that feels supportive to you)
Rebuilding trust in God or yourself after religious harm or burnout
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all counseling. This is your space, your pace, and your process. We’re here to walk alongside you, not preach at you.
Rooted in Compassion, Guided by Faith
We blend clinically grounded methods—like Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, or narrative therapy—with an openness to the spiritual tools and practices that matter to you. Whether that’s prayer, worship, silence, scripture, or simply asking life’s deeper questions, we can explore what’s truly life-giving for your soul and mental health.
And if you’ve been hurt by the church or confused by religious messages in the past, we can talk about that too. Sometimes healing means untangling faith from fear, shame, or pressure—and rediscovering a gentler, more honest connection with God.
Why We Offer This Work
We’ve walked alongside many people who love God deeply and still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted. I’ve seen how powerful it can be when someone feels safe to say, “I believe, and I’m still struggling.”
We bring over a decade of clinical training, but more than that, we understand what it’s like to want healing in both your heart and your spirit.
Faith-based therapy is not about fixing you—it’s about walking with you as you rediscover peace, purpose, and wholeness.
Questions You Might Be Asking…
Isn’t my faith supposed to be enough?
Faith is powerful. But even Jesus wept. Even spiritual leaders have mentors, guides, and support systems. Therapy doesn’t diminish your faith—it strengthens your ability to live it out in a healthy, grounded way. Seeking help is not a lack of belief—it’s a step toward wholeness.
What if I’ve been hurt by the church or by spiritual leaders?
Unfortunately, many people have experienced spiritual abuse, manipulation, or shame-based teachings. If that’s part of your story, therapy can be a place to gently unpack those wounds. We’ll go at your pace, and you’ll never be pressured to “just forgive and move on.” Your pain deserves to be honored.
I’m not sure where I stand with God right now—is that okay?
Absolutely. Whether you’re deeply committed to your faith or feeling confused and distant, you’re welcome here. Faith-based counseling doesn’t require certainty—it invites honesty. We can explore the hard questions and hold space for both belief and doubt.
This Can Be a Safe Space to Heal
You don’t have to hide your pain behind a smile, force joy you don’t feel, or pretend everything is okay because of your faith. You can bring your whole self—your mess, your heartache, your questions—into this space.
There is healing available. And you don’t have to walk this road alone.
If you’re curious about faith-based therapy, we invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you and whether this space feels like a good fit for your journey.
