Frequently Asked Questions
How does Christian Therapy work?
We provide a safe and supportive environment for people to explore their faith and how it intersects with the challenges they are facing in their lives. We believe that everyone is on a journey and that therapy can be a helpful part of that journey.
How to Find the right therapist for me?
The best way to find the right therapist for you is to ask around for referrals. Talk to your friends, family, and doctor to see if they know anyone who might be a good fit for you. You can also look online for therapist directories or directories specific to your needs (e.g., Christian Counselors, couples counselors, addiction therapists etc.). Once you have a few names, you can research their credentials and approach to therapy to see if they’re a good fit for you. We offer a 15-minute free consultation so you have the opportunity to talk to me and see if you feel like we would be a good fit before your initial appointment.
How do I get started?
The first step is to book a consultation call with us. This is an opportunity for us to learn more about you and your unique situation, and for you to ask any questions you might have about therapy. If we think we can be of help, we’ll schedule an initial session. From there, we’ll meet weekly (or more or less frequently, depending on what you need) to work through whatever issue you’re facing.
What are the benefits to going to therapy?
Some benefits that people often experience from therapy are feeling more positive about themselves, developing healthier relationships, and resolving past traumas. However, the benefits that you personally experience will depend on what you bring to therapy and what you want to get out of it.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you are struggling with your mental health, have experienced a traumatic event, or are dealing with relationship issues, therapy may be right for you. Talking to a therapist can help you understand and manage your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Therapy can also help you develop coping skills and problem-solving abilities. If you are not sure if therapy is right for you, please contact us and we would be happy to discuss your specific situation.
Can I benefit from therapy even if I’m not struggling with a major issue?
Absolutely! Many people who seek therapy are not in crisis, but are instead looking for support and guidance in managing life’s challenges. Therapy can help you learn new coping skills, gain insight into yourself and your relationships, and increase your overall sense of wellbeing.
How long will therapy take?
The length of time that therapy takes depends on the individual or couple’s goals for therapy. Some people may only need a few sessions to address a specific issue, while others may need ongoing therapy to work through more longstanding issues.
How do I schedule my appointments?
You can schedule your appointments by visiting our website or by calling our office. We offer a variety of appointment times to fit your schedule.
Does what we talk about in therapy remain confidential?
Yes, what we talk about in therapy remains confidential. The only exceptions to confidentiality are if you are planning to harm yourself or someone else, if there is abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, or if a court orders disclosure of the information.
