Christian Counseling In Charlotte, NC

Weather you’re struggling with your relationships, marriage, depression, anxiety, or trauma, Christian Counseling can be profoundly helpful. I help adults and teens navigate relationships and mental health from a Christian perspective, so they can live life with more meaning and purpose.

As a Christian you may have avoided counseling for worry that therapy wouldn’t align with your spiritual beliefs. Maybe you tried a counselor in the past and it didn’t quite fit or the therapist didn’t share your perspectives as a Christian. Alternatively, you may feel you could receive support through your church community, but thought a trained, experienced, professional could be more helpful to you.

Christian’s aren’t immune to life’s problems and you want a to see a counselor that respects your faith and understands your struggle from a Christian perspective. Christian counseling is an integration of faith, sound counseling principals, and human behavioral studies to help you improve your relationships, mental health and spiritual health.

As a Christian counselor I meet you where you are and provide a safe place to share your deepest hurts and problems or help you rebuild a struggling relationship. I offer a place of hope and encouragement not condemnation or judgement, where you can begin experiencing freedom and healing.

My hope is that through the counseling process you find relief and freedom from your struggle and pain and you’re able to connect with others and God better and live a life with more meaning and purpose. I’m hear to listen and help. There is hope!

What Christian Counseling is and is not

Many people are confused by the term “Christian counseling.” Some may think it’s just about telling people what the bible says to do in their situation. However, Christian counseling is not a special type of counseling or a separate therapy. It’s not only for those who want religious advice, and it doesn’t follow a strict method that’s the same for everyone. It uses real therapy techniques and tools to help people heal, just like any other form of counseling, but from a Christian perspective.

What Christian Counseling Does Mean

In simple terms, the “Christian” in Christian counseling means that the counseling is done from a Christian worldview. This allows a licensed Christian therapist to use many different kinds of therapy, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Various forms of trauma treatment or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), while keeping faith in mind.

A Christian counselor can help you work through life’s challenges while understanding your faith and values. The Christian worldview helps guide how we view personal growth, relationships, and healing.

What Christian Counseling Means in My Practice

In my practice as a licensed Christian therapist in Charlotte, I bring both my faith and professional training together to help people. I hold degrees from Christian schools like Biola University and Pepperdine University, where I learned to blend psychology with Christian beliefs. I hold a Bachelors and a Masters in clinical psychology and minored in Biblical Studies. As a Christian Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work to apply modern therapy techniques while staying faithful to Christian values.

I believe psychology is a tool given to us by God to understand our minds, emotions, and relationships better. In my practice, I use the latest therapy techniques, but I always view them through the lens of Scripture. This means I help people work through their problems while staying true to the truths found in the Bible.

If you are looking for Christian counseling in Charlotte that respects your faith and uses proven therapy techniques, I can help. My goal is to support your emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
