About Tania Fendel Christian Counselor in Denver, CO
Christian Counselor in Denver, CO
Tania Fendel, MA, LAC counseling in Denver for anxiety, trauma and substance abuse by a Christian.
You’ve been praying, you’ve been reading, and you go to church when you can. Maybe you stopped going to church. When does the peace start? You look around and see so many happy Christians and you wonder if there is something deeply wrong with you. You wonder sometimes even if God has forsaken you, or if you are being punished for your humanness and imperfection. No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to live up to the standard you have in your head about what God wants from you.
You are not alone. My name is Tania and I am a Christian Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor in Denver, CO. I provide strengths-based counseling from a Christian viewpoint. When you encounter all that God has given you (education/natural abilities/personality/health): you will find there’s more to life. Trying to keep things in the dark hasn’t worked, why not step into the light?
Education, experience, and focus.
Friends and clients say I am curious, creative and compassionate; that I care and am committed. I became a counselor during the process of getting an MA from Denver Seminary while working in a hospital. I saw people in a lot of pain who needed compassion, kindness and healing. My education in counseling, theology, and fine arts allows me to understand the ways your body, mind and spirit can interact. See more about what I believe here.
Putting God in the equation empowers you with the love you need to overcome your blocks. Stop dwelling in anxiety or past trauma; instead lovingly detach. Start rebuilding healthy relationships with God, yourself and loved ones.
My specialties include trauma, relationships and substance abuse.
Counseling is more than just listening and nodding my head. I help adults and couples with different tools for couples counseling, trauma therapy and substance abuse counseling. You can start using what’s helpful. If what we’re doing is not working, we’ll try something different. Ready for a change?

Eric Johnson's Psychology and Christianity: Five Views (2010) describes five views on combining counseling and psychology as a Christian counselor. They include levels-of-explanation, integration, Christian psychology, transformational, and biblical counseling approaches. See my March 6th blog for more information.

Christian Counselors combine clinical training, values and theology. Alternatively, Biblical counselors typically have a degree from a seminary or Bible college where they have received extensive training in theology and God's word. I have a Christian worldview, seminary-educated, and clinically trained as a Licensed Addiction Counselor.

Christian counseling is grounded in biblical principles, which ensures that your recovery will be on the right track for you. We can talk about your identity in Christ and your relationship with the Trinitarian God, yourself and others. In contrast, secular counseling teaches you to find faith in yourself.
